In bloom this week

[jkofferdahl]

It's been a while since I posted new pictures, but I want to share several today which are currently in bloom (and a lot more are close to bloom or in spike). I guess they've decided that they like the new house!

First is Brassavola cordata, with it's virgin blooms. The fragrance at night is wonderful!



Next is one that's been in bloom a few weeks, but when I first posted pics it only had a couple of flowers open. It is also the plant's virgin bloom. Aerangis luteo alba v. rhodosticta.



Anacheilium cochleatum bloomed last year, from a division given me by a friend, but each growth produced just five blooms last year. This year the growths are producing like factories, and showing no signs of slowing down.



Finally, a Phal hybrid, Phal. (Fortune Buddha x Brother Pumpkin), which I really like. It also is blooming as a repeat on a very young plant, and looking wonderful.



Also in bloom right now are two Phal. Intermedias which have been plugging along for about 3 or 4 months already (and are repeat bloomers) and a Phal. equestris v. alba that's been blooming about as long. I've posted them before.
