Default Winter Blooms (Picture Heavy)

This seems to be my most floriferous time of year for my orchids. I almost have run out of room of places to display them in the house. Here are some pics of what is currently in bloom:

Here are the individuals:

Blc. Cornerstone 'Fine Circle' I've had this since 2011 from Ching Hua. It has been blooming 1 bloom regularly for a few years. First year for 2 blooms on a spike and there is another sheath with something in it not fully developed yet. 2 petals on one of these blooms got damaged when I was spraying some mould preventative in the greenhouse-you can see the spots and white on the left. Lovely scent

C. jenmanii. It also has two other growths in sheath but not ready to bloom yet. Lovely scent.

C, Fascelis, a primary hybrid between C. aclandiae and C. bicolor. It looks a lot like my aclandiae species and I was hoping for a little more bicolor influence, but I like it and it is nicely scented. I got this a few months ago so I can't take full credit for the blooms. the buds were barely visible when I got it. Nicely scented

Den Thaneth Blue (an unregistered cross). This is one that has lost most of its leaves prematurely and I don't really know why. It grows well tho.

Ctt. Loddiaca which blooms every year for me. And is nicely scented. It is a primary hybrid between C. loddigesii and C. aurantiaca.
