Some blooms to share - Orchid Board

A few of the current blooms here. The mini catts blooms are mostly spent, but I really liked the color and the vigourous plant that will hopefully produce a lot more some time. The Phal Brother Sara Gold is a rebloom of a plant I mounted, (1st effort), about 2 months ago. The Paph was labeled 'Claire de Lune' when I got it, but don't think that is right. I like the blooms anyway. There are 2 and a 3rd bud.

And here is a nice Dend. Salaya Candy hybrid, that isn't really registered, but I enjoy it just the same. Thanks Becca! The little Paph primilinum var flavum blasted a bud about a month and a half ago, so I was happy to see this little gal bloom. The flower isn't perfectly shaped, but I love the color and the compact plant that produced it. Plus there's another bud after this one that may be even nicer. Hope you enjoy them.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Becca! I still struggle with some of my 'kids' but its always nice to get the occasional reward bloom. That little Salaya, didn't seem to mind the trip at all and three of those blooms are still going strong! They're selling a lot of Phal-type dends. around here lately, so it must be that time of the year. Good growing.
