What's in bloom?
After moving all the 'chids into their shelter, I realized how many are in bloom and decided to take some 
This will have to be a two-part post as there are more than ten in bloom!

Hi Barbara 
The plant is B. Little Stars but it's not on the driftwood, it's coming from the pot next to it. Right now, they're all crowded together for a few days.

Thanks. Guess I wasn't being specific enough, I meant the last picture. And it's on a log I believe. It's very pretty and I looks familiar.  |

That little guy is Haraella odorata aka Haraella retrocalla. It's a constant bloomer...first blooming was just one bud but since then, it's 3 or 4 at a time, constantly! It's supposed to have a very lemony fragrance but I haven't been able to smell anything

Oooh, pretty!
Newbie time:
In the second set of pictures, in the second picture - is that algae growing inside the plastic pot?? I assume that's ok? |

Hi...yes, there's algae in a number of the pots but everything is doing wonderfully so I've decided not to do anything about it. If it ain't broke...don't fix it
I am not saying that this is the 'right' thing to do, don't want to mislead anybody, but the algae has not caused any problems...if anything, I think it may be helping in the growth process.
