Blc. Hawaii Stars 'Paradise'..............
This has been an amazing orchid. I've had it 6 or 7 years now. It blooms 4 times a year, growing outdoors in south Florida. This summer the psuedobulbs have bloomed sequentially (one psuedobulb every 2-3 weeks). For that reason it has been in constant bloom all summer (two and a half months blooming so far). Five more buds just broke out of another sheath this week. It's also fragrant.

Tucker, is that one of Mickey's Orchids plants? I had seen that cross over there.
I need to go by and say hi to Gail. I haven't been there in some time.

No, I bought that at a nursery in Coral Springs many years ago. I don't think I know where Mickey's is. Is that the place near downtown Fort Lauderdale that looks like a residence from the front?

Yeah, that's them. They are one block north of St Rd 84, just east of the cemetary. (north of Lester's Diner).
They (Gail, and her mum,Mickey), grow mostly Brassavola nodosa/cattleya crosses. I have Mickey's Freckles in bloom right now, and wow is it amazing. |
