Pictures since its pouring out
Wanted to go out and do a good 60 mile bike ride this afternoon but we're getting nailed with thunder storms. So I pulled a couple bloom pics off the camera that I havent posted yet. The first one is Phal Wedding Promenade, or supposed to be. It was a rescue from Lowes a few years back. This will be its last bloom since its thrown up a terminal leaf.....if there is such a thing. The next one is Zygosepalum 'Rhein Clown'. Second time its bloomed for me this year. It has four nice big blooms on it. Which I accidently sprayed while watering so some of them have some discoloration no and I also broke off the 5th bud......I was having a heck of a day. The last one is my pride and joy. Until this past year I've always killed my dens. Well this Little Den unicum is making me feel good. It has 5 open flowers and 7 buds still left to open up. I think 12 blooms on a unicum is a pretty amazing thing. Especially for such a small little plant. But thanks for looking!
lots more blooms coming soon!

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
