First Blooms Vanda Gordon Dillon

[CR7cristiano]

Well here is an update on my Gordon Dillon. All blooms but one have opened. The last bloom was halfway open this evening so by tomorrow morning it will be a fully bloomed spike!

I got some brilliant evening shots showing how flat the blooms are and bigger they have gotten. Not to mention how rich the colour has now gotten

Wow! I love the black background. It really makes them pop! Aren't vandas the best?

Becareful about your wish, as I might just take you up on that offer to come and see it in person.
BTW, What Parish are you in?

I myself have a vanda similar to your Gordon Dillon, but it is struggling.

I must say your photo shoots are beautiful.

I am in Manchester, 3 parishes away.

I like photography, but I'm no expert at it, I may have to take that up next as a hobby though.

Manchester huh....now i can see why you may have a bit more trouble with vandas than the average person. Its a lot cooler and windier in Manchester, and thus less humidity. I'm gonna go ahead and assume your somewhere in Mandeville.
I noticed you have a lot of other orchids too though.
How many do you have?
I may have to come and take a peak at your collection

Your assumption is close.
How many orchids do I have??? eehh!!! I have stopped counting, remember I'm totally obsessed, and is loving it. Are you talking number of plants or number of species?

Oh btw Vandas does very well in our area, I discovered if i pot them they do better with me, than if I put them in a basket. We also do quite a bit of the mokora which is somewhat similar to the vandas.

Please inbox me.

Yes i know about Mokaras, I have a few too. They are of the Vandaceous specie; a hybrid. You say "we" i guess that means you possibly sell orchids as well?
