Winter blooms

[SaraJean]

These are the first round of orchids to bloom this winter with more to be added over the next couple of months.

First is the Cattleya walkeriana var. tipo 'Select'. This is the first and the smallest of my 5 walkerianas to bloom. Unfortunately I rotted the other bloom spike on this one. I was lazy in taking pics so they are a little past their prime but, my god, the fragrance

Next is a darling little Sophronitis cernua that I plan on mounting on a cork piece this year

And finally a Dendrobium hodgkinsonii. This one is very new to me and I am kind of surprised it bloomed at all. It’s the orchids first blooming and in a 2" pot. I do love my latouria types!
