Cattleya Violacea

This is the second flowering of my Cattleya Violacea which I brought from home. The first one was not very good, this on is much, much better, almost as good as in Caracas

Cattleya Walkeriana Canabra x C. Walkeriana Venosa “Aurora”

Equitant Oncidium (Tolumnia)

These do very well in Florida, this was the only one I brought from home.

Equitant Oncidium (Tolumnia) Spunky Spots

It has been a while. Essentially now I have on tenth of the orchids I used to have and more than half I brought from home and are finally getting used to the new environment. Today I post four pictures, two from plants I brought from home, two from plants I got here.

Dendrobium Samarai x Dendrobium Blue Sparkle

I love these Antelope type Dendrobia. I had a lot of them, but when I moved I was advised not to take them because it was easy to find them in the US. Well, no such luck, I used to have all but two of the species and have been able to replace about six only. This one is a hybrid, Den. Samarai x De. Blue Sparkle.

When I went to Singapore to the World Ochid Conference, I tried to buy some, but they also had few. They had lots in the exhibits, but not for sale. Their explanation: people don’t want them, the plants get too big!

I want them!

Cattelya Jenmanii alba

This was supposed to be Cattlea Jenmanii Rubra flamea which I bought from H&R in Hawaii, but Harry there tells me that many came out alba. I love it but may have to buy another one of the Rubra flamea to be fully happy.
