Absolutely LOVE your blooms. My favorite is the third and forth one! Did all three greet you with beautiful blooms this morning?

Oh!! It's a lovely day at your house! I'd stare at those all day

Those are really beautiful, I especially like the first two, very exotci looking. I have a phal. very similar to yours(well in my eyes anyway) it's called Malibu Merlot, maybe slighty lighter pink.

I don't have very many in bloom right now, and you've made me want to go shopping.

Thanks for the great pictures, they are all beautiful! I love how long the Phal is in bloom, you will be able to enjoy it for a long time!

Beautiful flowers. My fave is the neo, but that is just because I know how good they smell.

*sigh* I wish any of my plants were in bloom. I bought 6 phals the other day and I only have 2 of those flowers. My neostylus has a teensy spike nub. I can see why people have a bunch of orchids so that they have blooms year-round. Oh yeah, I have a little onc. twinkle that I bought the other day too, but I am pretty sure it will be done blooming before the neostylus blooms.

I wish I could have spent the whole day with them, as well. We had "stuff" we had to do, and didn't get home until late. Today, we have MORE "stuff" to do... It seems that every weekend there's too much "STUFF" to do! Well, at least today they're predicting a storm, so we may get rained out and have to come home....Yay!
I love my little Tolumnia...I love them all...."Parting is such sweet sorrow"....

Wow Patti, you really do orchids beautifully. Love those Neo's. I still have not gotten any. I ordered some a few months ago then cancelled the order the next day. I think I'm afraid of them. Love that Phal...that color is sooooooooo pretty.

I have to catch up here on the board and see what else you've been up to with your others 'chids. Speaking of ghost orchids , how's yours coming along?

I am getting so jealous of everyone's Neo's that are blooming. They look great.
