Default Misc in Bloom 9-12-09

I’ve been travelling a lot the last couple of months and not posted bloom pictures for awhile. Missed a few that bloomed in my absence, and the first two I’m posting today were down to the last bloom.

From left to right:
• Brassavola cucullata – down to the last bloom
• Dendrobium Velvet Melody – again, the last bloom
• Lc. Sagrik Wax ‘Fragrance’ – plant – leggy, almost Dendrobium-like growth (this plant is almost 30 inches tall).
• Lc. Sagrik Wax ‘Fragrance’ - spike
• Lc. Sagrik Wax ‘Fragrance’ – bloom – lives up to its name, even I can smell it. Not overwhelming like a Brassavola and some others (it doesn't chase you around the room), but prominent. Kind of a “spice” odor, but I’m not sure exactly what. My wife (the only reliable nose in the household) thinks maybe cinnamon, but not exactly, however she’s having allergy problems and is “smell-disadvantaged” at the moment. It IS an odor that almost anyone would enjoy, I’m pretty sure.
• Slc. Jewel Box ‘ Scheherazade’ – an old favorite. I gave away (donated to the Tucson Orchid Society annual auction) a huge specimen plant of this a couple of years ago. Realized I couldn’t do without it, so I started over with a small seedling, which finally bloomed. I didn’t get it back into the greenhouse quickly enough and one of my cats chewed off completely the leaves on the new leads. Don’t know if it will recover . . . maybe I’ll need to start over again!
• Tolumnia Golden Sunset – a nice reliable (although unpredictable) bloomer for me.

Also I’m posting pictures of Cycnoches (cooperi x barthiorum) in the Catasetinae and Stanhopea forum.
