Nooo… Nothing special.  Since I don’t know what to believe about this food or that food, I’ll do 20-20-20 one week, Dyna-Grow bloom another, Norman’s Orchids mix another…  I figure the plants are smarter than I am, and will take what they need.  I think it’s just California beach climate… Gentle and temperate, not too hot, not terribly cold.  Alot of trial and error.  But I’m really excited about how the vandadeous orchids have done this year…  My conditions are barely marginal… but there they go! Don’t believe everything you read in the books! — http://members.tripod.com/rlfox

Response:

That is GORGEOUS!  Where do you live?  Grow outside or in a greenhouse? I love Paphs,especially parvisepalums , but have had only modest successes and none yet with a parvi.  So I’d love to learn where you grew this beauty. Roberta How is this for a first bloom seedling that just opened.  It is Paph Fumi’s Delight  (Paph micranthum X Paph armeniacum).  Way too kewl! Pat Brennan  [Image]

I’m sure it’s just lovely. Wish you would post pictures by using a link to a web site so we all could see it.

Phal. bellina – this baby just blooms on and on and on…’course, I am certainly not complaining…what a lovely fragrance!!! Cym. Golden Elf ‘Sundust’ AM/AOS – nice, bhigge butter-yellow blooms with a strong, lemony fragrance.  Warmth-loving, too… Phal. Hymen – looks like a spindly little yellow hieroglyphica…I’d like to meet the person that registered this cross and ask what they were thinking, giving their phal _that_ name…unless hymen has a completely different meaning in another language. Stelis sp. (as mentioned in the previous post) Zootrophion schenkii ‘Mendenhall’ Encyclia (Epidendrum, Anacheilum, Prosthechea) cochleata (cochleatum, cochleatum, cochleata) – ah, yes, a plant of many names, but a "clam shell" by any other name would look just as bizarre.  I got a real high seeing the FL native form of this plant blooming in a south Florida swamp.  NOTE: mine is not a collected plant…it was seed- raised. Epidendrum conopseum – several of many plants rescued when their supporting branch fell to earth (live oaks are notorious for this). IN SPIKE Onc Tai (Onc sphacelatum X Onc maculatum).  This one represents a minor orchidaceous triumph…first spike in 4 years. Onc. Sharry Baby – the ever-popular "chocolate" scented orchid (although I get a distinct cherry/raspberry undertone when I smell it). Mtdm. Pupukea Sunset ‘Hawaii Kai’ – much anticipated rebloom on this plant acquired last summer. Onc. Twinkle – should be a nicely fragrant oncid. several Dendrobium in spike as well…names much too long to remember without digging up the tags. Vanda (TMA?) – 2nd spike this year for this plant, rescued unlabelled from a local nursery.  The flowers are really drop-dead gorgeous…too bad I don’t have a definitive label for it…it is certainly a flower worthy of a name…indications point toward TMA as it’s ID, but one can never be certain in the area of hybrids. — Prem – Animator, programmer, and orchid and fossil nut extraordinaire… – DNRC Title: Minister of Lightwave 3d Plugin Design Foolishness – Home – http://www.PremDesign.com "This sig line for rent…"

I was given a RHV. Blue Lightning (RHY.Coelestis XV. Coerulea)-blue that was on it’s last leg at work.  I have brought the little guy back and he now has a nice green 1 inch long root.   I’ve never seen this one in bloom, and am having a hard time with searches

sounds like it’s gonna be blue! <G  I’ve got a hybrid with R. coelestis in it–that has dainty dark blue flowers (fragrant) in an upright "foxtail" grouping.  it blooms every three months.  be interesting to find out what yours looks like when it blooms… Alynne No matter how little rain, no matter how few people admire the garden, or the gardener, if we tend to the roses, the blossoms will come.–Chris deVinck
