January Blooms

[Junebug]

Several of my babies are in the process of producing spikes and buds, but these guys are the ones that have done their best to please me this month. A few of them suffered some damage to their developing buds during a brief one night cold spell in November. Unfortunately I was unable to bring them in from 32 degree temperatures that night and as a result they lost a few blooms.

Thank you. The Dend. is a Noid and was a Mother's Day gift from my son last year. This was it's first bloom while in my care. Unfortunately this one suffered some cold damage and lost 5 blooms.

Oh, you just know me, "the noid queen", too well. Actually, a couple of them do have names. One of them is a Onc. Sharry Baby 'sweet fragrance' and the last one is a Rhyncostylis gigantea 'Red'.

NO ONE gets away with on here - God knows I've tried

Thanks Sugar

Junebug your blooms are beautiful and I couldn't tell which one suffered the cold temp. I'm Green with envy.

Spell them? I can't even pronounce them, but I try real hard to grow them.

Thank you Sheridan. I hope you're doing well. Orchid culture is no replacement for your loss, but it's very therapeutic. I deliberately bought 5 bare root baggy orchids shortly after the death of my daughter. I could have purchased healthy mature specimens, but instead chose some that needed extra attention. After that I began investing in "rescue plants". Now I have quite the collection of Noids and am more fond of them than the ones with names because they helped me to survive my loss.

Hey Lady, you have a greenhouse and that makes me a little green. When it gets cold out, like tonight, I have to bring all the plants inside. The lizards and frogs hitch a ride and come indoors too. It's rather entertaining to watch my hubby running scared from the harmless little reptiles and amphibians.

All your flowers are beautiful but I especially like the Den. Thanks for showing your photos.
P.S. Keep em warm!!
