Blooms & Buds
 

Morning folks :D

1. Anacheilium cochleatum -- blooms every couple of months. Nicely scented, sweet honey - cinnamon tone.

2. Oncid. ornithorhynchum in bud. Got it as a itty bitty seedling. I waited almost 4 years to see this spike & buds - Strong growing orchid ;)

3. A noid Phal. I named it after my mother - "Frances"

4. Oncid. Sharry baby "Ruby Doll" - Fantastic chocolate scent, pleasent soapy undertone. I love it!

5. Paphiopedilum appletonianum in high bud. I've been waiting for it to bloom since early august. Whata PITA, It better be real nice :evil:

6. Phal. dtps. Chain Xen Pearl - I've had a number of bud blasts on the first spike. I'm sure the second spike will be better (I hope) ;)

Thanks for lookin' :D

Happy, happy Gloria! :dance13:

Frances is lovely!!! :cloud9:

If your Paphiopedilum appletonianum looks anything like this, I think you're in for a real treat!
Paphiopedilum Paph. appletonianum var hainanense

Great bunch, Gloria. You're going to love the appletonianum.

Thanks guys :D
Yes thats the question - If it looks like that, I will try and forgive it ;)

All beauties! Thank you for perking me up on this cold winter florida day!

All very nice. I love that clam shell orchid-looking one.

Thank you both :D I hope you guys are getting warmer now.

Update --The ornithorhynchum is beginning to bloom and the appletonianum bud is unfolding.
I'll post more in a couple of days :D

Gorgeous blooming going on at your place Gloria. Love the show, especially, the last Phal.

They all look great. Is that ornithorhynchum going to be red or purple ? The buds look sort of dark. Please try to post that picture when it blooms.
