A few of my current blooms.
These are some of my current blooms.
The first is Rlc. Hsinying Rouge. Nice floral scent. I grow this mostly under lights in the 'greenhouse' It gets quite a bit of summer sun but in winter it needs T5's.
This is a faithful bloomer. Eplc. Volcano Trick 'Orange Fire' grown in the greenhouse as well. Sun in summer and T5 in winter.
Vuyl. Home Spun Sprite 'Sapphire Seduction'. Sadly my cat Stanley decided to have lunch on this plant yesterday. so now many of the leaf ends are chewed (and swiftly regurgitated ). I found it interesting that last winter, right around Christmas, I got a wonderful show of solid red blooms on many spikes. This summer flush has a lot of white marking on the lips, which is very nice too, but not at all present last winter.

All three are very pretty!
I have noticed that the colors of some of my orchids change depending on temperature.

Thanks. If you like Oncidium types, this is a small very reliable bloomer. I recommend finding this one!

Thanks.
I have seen some colour change when they bloom in different temps, but the white on the lips are the most marked change I have seen! Well, except my Tolumnias. I had one bloom such a different colour and markings, it was hard to believe it was the same plant!

Here you can only find Vuylstekearas in those big stores under the name "Cambria". They are all Cambrias... but it's always possible to see the flowers.
A few years ago I got a Cambria at a big store, without any flowers. Now I know it's, probably, a Mtssa. Dark Start ' Darth Vader' (Mtssa. Olmec x Milt. Anne Warne).

I have that one also, but it is a tagged plant from a vendor. It is much larger than the little red one I posted. Do you have vendors you can order from? You can likely order all over Europe as part of the EU?? We can't even order from the U.S. without a bunch of paperwork and cost.
