Hey form Venice Florida
 

I bought my first orchid back in 1985, a Valentines present for my wife. I still have pieces of that orchid today.
I currently have over 200 orchids, mostly cattleya alliance, with vanda's dens phals oncidiums and epidentrums sprinkled in for good measure.
I'm a member of the Venice area orchid society.
I grow outdoors under a live oak and in my screened lanai.

Here are a few shots of a few of my plants in bloom

Hey welcome aboard, What is the name of the white orchid ?

That's the first orchid I ever bought, and the tag is long-a-go history.

Wow I love that lavender one!

Thanks wasn't that a great set of blooms. That's a cross of Blc. Mahina Yahiro X C. Sans Souci. It produced three doubles, with 2 side by side and the one centered above. So I got that arrangement naturally, without any staking. I can't wait till next year to see what it does.
