Exciting Happenings

Red Epi is flowering. It tried to make one flowering spike and something bit it off. It made a second one and most of it fell off in the second move to North Carolina. Only two flowers were left on. It's making kiki's more something also from the stems.

The Gus Orchid is going to flower if nothing goes wrong. It's made lots of sheaths and I'm bloom boosting is ALOT to try and get it to make lots of flowers. I've been watering it with bloom fertilizer and misting the leaves with bloom fertilizer every day. It seems to be working.

Cattleya cernua is growing a bunch of new growths again after resting for a couple of months. Maybe all of them will make flowers this fall!!

Dendrobium spectabile is making four news growths despite its somewhat unfortunate repotting experience a month or so ago.

Steve Stevenson might be making a flowering sheath! not sure yet though

Yellow and maroon cattleya popped out a flower just yesterday. We weren't expecting a flower this year because it had such a sad looking winter, but I think it is back on it's feet and growing well again.

Bulbophyllum makoyanum is busting out with flowers all over the place. It has 7 spikes right now, but only one is open at the moment.

Oncidium Gold Medal is making a flowering spike. It normally blooms in November so it seems kind of early, but I'm just excited it's going to flower! It's about six inches longer than in this picture by now.

Phalaenopsis amabalis is also making a flowering spike. The grower said they could be in flower nearly continuously, but this is impressive. It only finished a few months ago.

Charlie Brown's new growths are looking really good which is great after it experienced such a downslide this winter.
