Default A Few More Bloomers and Some Mishaps

Here are some photos of a few more bloomers including 2 noid dendrobiums that were recently toppled during a middle of the night storm.

The purple and white dendrobium lost her blooming spike but she still two other ones that haven't begun blooming yet.

The cane on the lavender dendrobium got snapped in the fall. It had a thread of connecting tissue left so I made a temporary splint by shoving a toothpick through the cane. One little bloom managed to open since the mishap, but the jury's still out on the remaining buds.

I recently acquired the Prosthechea cochleata. She had 3 buds upon delivery but one blasted. Two managed to survive and their fragrance is reminiscent of baby powder.

My dancing lady has gone wild with 5 blooming spikes and another new 8 inch spike.

Last but not least is my Noid Vanda. She formerly had the reputation of being a stubborn bloomer, but not anymore. This is her 3rd bloom session this year.

Such gorgeous ones.

What a shame about the Dendrobiums though Hope they recover OK.

Your Vanda could be JVB or TMA.

I've never seen Prosthschea before. That is one unique looking flower. I like it!
