LOL! Sounds like an exciting battle!

Awesome blooms! :wtg:

:waving
orchid get bored too and like to play ya know... they looks like little aliens flying around dont they? They need little light sabers now too :lol:


Thanks and the blooms are awesome indeed. I want more of them...Ill have a psychopsis aerial army :biggrin:

:rofl: ok, so now I'm picturing them with little light sabers

:rofl: Too funny!! So who won the battle?

Love them all. I want more psychopsis and your alba version is just the ticket -added to wish list.

thank you again :).

The Alba wins with a double bloom today..The spike has split like the other one. I could get 4 flowers now..

They are very intricate flowers both of them.. The albas color is so yellow the photos do not do justice to them. Lemon Yellow...This one should have gone to the orchid show but only one flower was open. I didnt think it looked good enough..It would have won a ribbon too I tell ya!!!

I like the Mariposa bec its large and voluminousness. Very nice coloring patterns, but I would have to say the papilio alba is special and my favorite so far.

ooo - fabulous yellow!

I had no idea that spikes could split. At what point do they usually split? I need to keep an eye on mine then!

:) Best I can tell is the spike which had the 2nd bud on it was crowded and the plant pushed it off to the side after the 1st one opened. The 2nd bud now has a mini spike off the original..Both spikes now have forks in them. If you can keep these going I would bet a dollar it would split off and make another ...:biggrin:


Thanks You all ...orchids are fun again!!!
