What's blooming for me....

I have a few beautiful babies blooming right now...

Phal schilleriana, Phal Ho's Exotic Twist 'Pine Ridge 6', Phal Mini Mark 'Holm', and Phal NOID

And I am impatiently waiting for my Milt. Hajime Ono 'Black Falls' to bloom. It's spike is about 4 inches long right now, and is out of the leaf. I first noticed the spike back on March 2nd, and it was really small, visible through the leaf when sun was shining.

ETA: Phalpal, if you read this...this is the yellow NOID that I thought looked the same as your Phal Little Emperor 'Lee'

Very nice blooms, and good growing.

I have been looking for a Phal Mini Mark 'Holm' for a while. Very nice.

Really nice psyc1210!!! I love your Mini Mark; mine came to me stressed and still is a year later.....sigh...

I brought my Emperor Lee over to the computer and it was hard to tell a difference from your NOID. The only very slight variance is mine is a little more spotted on the lower petals. This could just be a variance between plants; they are virtually identical. Do your blooms face in all directions? Mine face north/south/east/west with no system what so ever. I kinda like it.

Jay - Oak Hill has nice Mini Marks.

Okay....so I'm really, really bad.......I just called Oak Hill and added a Mini Mark to my species order. Sharyn got hers from them at the same time I got one from OrchidWeb; hers is great and mine is barely hanging in there.

Oh yeah....I also added a Phal (Fortune Buddah x Brother Pumpkin). Hey, they are on sale!?

It's all psyc1210's fault.

LOL

I have two Mini Marks, only because one was a present for my mother, and she is afraid she'll kill it, so I've been keeping it. The more the merrier. Can't have too many Mini Marks. Maybe when you get your second one, the other will perk up

I keep my two right next to each other, and they started their spike within the same week, and started opening the buds within the same week as well. Worked out perfectly.

My blooms on the yellow NOID pretty much face wherever they want. I have two facing backwards, one facing forwards, and one that tilts to the left a bit.

So pretty! I may be getting a Hilo lip when I go to Carter & Holmes next month. I've been eying that lovely for some time now.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

I love your primary cross - lindenii x pulcherrima. I see the lindenii "Mendenhall' designation so did you get this little beauty from C & H?

Good growing!

Brooke

JoBeth you must have gotten the last one :>( I gave her my list of gotta haves and also told her of my love of primaries and she didn't mention the one you got. She's a great lady and is helping me shop!

My honghenensis and hainanensis - sure hope I spelled those correctly - are doing great and are sooooo cute. My next goal is to learn how to pronouce them.

Brooke

First we have my Sc Crystelle Smith 'Aileen', and next my little Phal/Doritis pulcherrima var alba is blooming.

I wanted to update my bloom thread because I am so freaking excited. I just did watering today, and found a spike on my Phal Fantasy Musick, a spike on both of my Phal Mini Mark 'Holm', a subspike on a NoID Phal which is a splash petal, TWO new spikes on my Phal Brother Sara Gold (which is still holding onto 2 spikes from last year), and a bud that came up from nowhere on my Paph, which is essentially a NoID...

This is my FIRST ever Paph bud while in my care. My other Paph hasn't done a thing at all. So the Maudiae Paph that I have in bud right now is also starting a new growth.

Anyway, can you tell I'm excited?!?
