Cymbidium - this one got hailed on - minor damage to blooms. 6 spikes total, but for some reason I couldn't get a photo of the whole plant that I was happy with.
Miltassia (?) this one had no tag when I got it - I'm making a guess it's Miltassia. It's been a reluctant bloomer, despite growing like a weed. I've had it almost 3 years (was in bloom when I got it), has had lots of new growth, but this is only it's second spike since then, and the first (fall 09) blasted all but one bud. I also don't recall it being this color - I remember it more a dusky purple, but I could be mistaken, or it could be having been exposed to cooler temps while in spike (it was out side all winter while in spike). I like this color better anyway
I also found interesting that when the buds first begin to open, they were so dark, they were nearly black, and then they slowly fade.
Thanks for looking
