The most exciting thing has been that Phragmipedium longifolium has just opened up it's first flower yesterday. Phrags are kind of high maintenance because they like to be watered every day, but at the same time that makes them sort of easy. No worrying about when to water- just water all the time. We definitely would like to get more of them.
Bulbophyllum makoyanum went nuts in a big flush this year. It had 10+ flowers on all at the same time. It is still flowering, but not quite so spectacularly as the first flush. It really put on a ton of new growth this year over the winter at the babysitting greenhouse.
The Oncidium Gold Medal is flowering away too. It doesn't have quite such a ridiculous 4ft spike as Gower Ramsey has, but it is lovely none the less.
Phragmipedium bessae hybrid has 2 spikes with buds on, but I am still anxiously awaiting them to plump up and open.
Dendrobium bracteosum has opened up a bunch of flowers which are adorable.
