Speaking of bloomers.....
 

My neighbor took a spin through my shadehouse today and sent me some pictures.

1- Blc. Ann Morning 'Paradise'
2- Encyc. Pinar del Rio
3- Encyc. plicata
4- Blc. Manilani Rainbow
5- Blc. Waianae Leopard 'Ching Hua'
6- Vascostylis Yaya 'Orose Fragrance'

#5 might be headed to the scrap heap!

Shame to miss out. I hope he hangs out when he visits to chat with them and make the feel appreciated :)

Real nice flowers. You raised them well

Eventually there shouldn't be too many summer bloomers as I roll my collection over to be fall- spring bloomers.

Some of these bloom multiple times/year which is fine. Both those Encyclia's are supposed to be spring bloomers but both are on their first bloom so hopefully they'll get into synch.

Mostly I like her pics because I'm looking at the overall health of the plants in the background. So far, so good this summer.

Very nice variety and blooms!

Is it Momilani Rainbow, right?

Wonderful !

Thanks SP, I'll look into that.
It's possible. I think I recall having difficulty reading the label and never was able to find it online at the time so I was probably guessing.

Also interesting is that the colors of that flower above are slightly different than when it bloomed in Feb. this year. I like the summer version (color and shape) much better!

1st pic is Feb.
2nd pic is July

Very nice colour differences KG! Possibly due to the different temperatures. The petals have spread out very nicely for July.
