A couple of bloomers on my way out the door for the summer
 

Thought I'd post a couple pics as I head out to my last society meeting for this season. Been busy getting the shade house straightened out and the plants prepared for their unattended summer.

Grammatophyllum scriptum is a 4 spike first bloom success.
Also my ever reliable, heavenly scented Rhyncho. retusa blooming right on schedule and Gptm. Starburst 'Parkside'.

They will miss you...safe trip.

Wow, beautiful display, thats a huge amount of roots on the retusa!
Must be hard to leave them.

Beautiful ❤️

One last post from the Keys before we hit the road back to NH. Encyclia guatamalensis. First time bloomer for me with 3 spikes and roughly 60 flowers. It's a keeper!

How hard it must be to leave it!
