Blooms & Buds

[Lagoon]

Morning folks

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

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'

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

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.
