Odontoglossum Rawdon Jester


2 Flowers on a small young plant. Think it will be quite impressive as it gets older. Flowers are very heavy and shiny -- and it was difficult taking a picture where the reflection from the flash didn't distort the appearance of the flower. Photo is badly out of focus -- but didn't realize it until flower was gone. So this is the pic I have to remember it by -- until the next time it flowers/

Slc Chian-Tzy Regalia "Stunner"


Another recent acquisition. Plant is relatively small. 4 buds on one sheath. Hopefully this will wind up making a nice specimen plant.

Phal. Mini Mark 'Holm'


A cute little miniature phalaenopsis here. The cross is Micro Nova X philippinensis. The picture doesn't do it justice. My plant had two spikes -- one with three flowers and the other with four. The orange lip is particularly nice.

Phal. I-Hsin Black Jack 'Shi Hua' AM/AOS


A recent acquisition. Got it last year when it was in spike. The spike got too long -- and fell over -- snapping off. Arggg! Anyway, nice to see it finally back in flower. A large flower -- and with very heavy substance.

Paph Landmark




This is glaucophyllum X sanderianum. This is a nice dependable plant for me. I think it has bloomed 3 times already. This flowering, it had three flowers. Not as impressive as some of the other sanderianum hybrids, but still very likable.

Have not had a laptop for the last couple of months -- and I seem to have lost some pics that I thought were OK on my digital camera. But hoping to get things back on track here with regular posting when plants are in flower.
