They are all beautiful but I especially love the Aerangis luteo-alba. That is a nice presentation also.

Jim, your photo's make Mondays a little nicer!! Your flowers are just beautiful, as usual.
I love the looks of Phrags, but the flowers seem so small compared to the plant. How big is the Eric Young flower? It's lovely.

Nice pics Jim and the Aerangis is reallly doing it's thing. A very nice, vigorous looking plant. Isn't your plant blooming early? I thought the blooming season was winter and spring.

You have so many spikes on the Aerangis! It looks absolutely wonderful. Too bad I missed out on that project, but I should still get one! Love the phal too.

Jim, your Aerangis is looking awesome! Mine is starting to look scruffy. I think I need to take it out of the basket and mount it and see if it likes that better. I bought some cork bark months ago to do that and just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks for the nice comments, to answer a few ?s.
The Aerangis bloomed last year in Feb. I have it potted
kind of Neo. style, it has 28 blooms, It grows with my Paphs but gets more water, I'm very happy with it.
This is the first time I've bloomed Phrag. Eric Young, the flower is about 3"x4" with another bud behind.(a pic)
As for Paph Deperle I just bought it at the Chicagoland Orchid Fest. Thanks again...... Jim.
