I love the first two. The last one is, well... shaky! Great experience you had there.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Nice Mike You sure have the Fakahatchee bug! I know exactly how you feel about this place! It is as addictive as growing orchid. I was unable to go last weekend and I'm having withdrawals. I'll be getting my fix this Sunday. That one picture looks like there is going to be 2 flower on one spike. It happens but not usual. We want to go early to a place where they have wildlife cameras setup. Hope to see something BIG. Hope you had a great day.
