Some vandaceous blooms....

[gixrj18]

These are a few in bloom now. The red one, Ascda. Arthorn, is starting to fade, it is almost finished blooming. The beautiful golden one is Vasco. Nongleham x V. Mimi Palmer, and this is the first time I've seen it bloom.....it was a "pot luck" purchase last year sometime. The pink is one of my favorites....the plant stands about 3' tall (not counting the 3' of roots), and it puts out huge, gorgeous blooms every year. The tag on it said sanderiana, but apparently it's a hybrid. I don't want to make anyone freak out this year (you know who you are), so I'm not going to call it anything. Just calling it a beautiful orchid might keep me from getting my head bit off....so here it is!
