Breath of Spring... Inside
It's a good thing to have a bunch blooming right now. Was out in shirt sleeves last week. Now ice, ice, then snow. It's one way of keeping sanity....what little is left.
The dendrobium is lovely, but impossible to capture in a picture. It always has this "droopy" look, and makes me want to lay on floor to look at it.
The little "yellowish" one... those flowers are smaller than a dime. But fragrant.

Almost Forgot
Almost forgot to include this one. My first time blooming it. And yes, it's almost too big, but worth it. Couldn't capture all the blooms without taking a front and back picture. Can't do justice to the color.

That's a great display - what is the "droopy" dendrobium - it looks so pretty?

A species, Den. rhodostictum. Usually blooms for about four months. I just want to yell at those blooms like a charm school teacher... "Back straight!! Head Up!!"  |

Wow, you really know how to display your orchids. They look so elegant. You should give lessons on it.

Thank you. My last passion before retiring was owning a water garden store. Design, etc. I used orchids a lot in displays at trade shows. Here's a fun phrag from one of the shows: |
