Anticipation of Flowers

We have several more plants we are waiting to open their flowers.

The big Gus Orchid is in bud all of a sudden. That sort of came out of nowhere. I hadn't even been bloom boosting it! That plant is fussy I've decided. The same exact plant at the orchid trail has way bigger pseudobulbs and is just much more robust. Ours is a good vegetative grower, but it's hard to get it to flower usually. I've decided that a lot of our plants- especially the cattleyas and anything else that wants to dry out has been getting too dry. We are watering more often now especially with the greenhouse so hot.



The Ondicium Gower Ramsey has a huge flowering spike that is at least 2ft tall and really strong! The buds are only just starting to form, so we have a little while on that one yet.


The Miltassia Shelob Tolkein is also budding still. They are growing bigger. We've been watering it more so the buds don't blast. That happened last year and we only got a couple of flowers.


One of the mystery Phals is about to pop open! It looks like it will be pink or purple. We will see in a couple of days and I will add more pictures.
