Hi Kiki,
They are all beautiful! Way to grow!!! :D

What is the pink one on the left in photo number 8? I'm curious because it looks intersting. :scratchhead:

Thanks, Dave. That one on the left is a Mtdm. Ruffles 'Scent of a Woman' that I got not long ago. It's a primary hybrid of Miltonia warscewiczii and Oncidium ornithorbynchum. It had one spike opened with four more spikes developing. Now four of the spikes are in full bloom with one more yet to fully develop. It has a slight fragrance, nothing too noticeable, but it's one of my favorite blooms right now. ;)

No snow is right, Sue! That's because I air-brushed it out of the pictures! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

You have a really beautiful collection there, I loved the Paph and the Phrag - must add them to my ever=increasing wish list!

I know what you mean about changing everything round as the sun comes up to the north again - Pelargoniums and cacti going out soon to make room for tomatoes and melons in my greenhouse, and the orchids moving away from windows. All in a day's work along with the bedding plants and vegetable seedlings - why do we all want to grow half hardy things in a cold climate?

Super growing Kiki. Is #3 a Max Variabilis by any chance? I have one just like it. Nice selection of bloomers :clap: :clap: :clap:

Yes, it's the variabilis 'Grace.' It's been growing great guns for me this past year. I really like that one. I just bought that Max. tenuifolia from EOM last month and the size of it blew me away! I was so use to my little variabilis, I had no idea they could be so big. :shock: But I'm crazy about that one too. ;)

Nice blooms! It's great that you have so many in bloom at once, it really does seem like spring. I really love the cute paph, as well as the yellow phal! :) I love yellow blooms.
