the winters spikes are starting to flower
 

I counted today that I have 10 phals. 9 of them are spiking from over the winter. Some have budded up nicely and other are being slow.

felt good get off the cycle and play with some flowers!!!

Gorgeous flowers....I see your clay balls and moss inside the glass....I copied your method and it is working well for some of my orchids

Such a spectacular display, I want to see the encyclia when it blooms :)

Beautiful orchids!

Im eyeing that encyclia ... mine just finished bloomimg.

thanks you all Phals are fun when you dont kill em :bowing


The Enc. ramonensis 'Dr. Pepper' X self is the plant and a bag baby from Sun Bulb co, (Lowes/Home Depot). Doesnt really smell like dr pepper' to me.

notice how the bulbs arent buried? why some kill them is they plant them too deep when they repot. The bulbs HAVE to stay above the media if not they rot. :waving

Ill make another post for the encyclias as I have quite a few spikes popping up on others too..

Beautiful, your own orchid show!

Fabulous! :wtg:

Love your encyclia! I hope mine blooms like that for me next year
