Default Two Summer Blooms

I've posted these before, but they are especially nice this time, plus they're all I have out right now. Last time, the Bl. Golden Glory was smaller, and more pink. I think I know how it got its name now. The Haraella is going gangbusters, with another spike and a new growth on its way. Still no 'odorata', though. A pretty lean summer, but I'm pleased.

That haraella is beautiful, Kim. I think that I would like the plant all by itself even if it never chose to flower.

I hear ya on the not odorata! Mine never have a scent besides "wet stick". Nice photos.

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.)
