March monthly status report
 

Hello all,
I haven't seen anyone post a monthly status report in a while.
In Bloom:
Brassavola Little Stars
Rehfieldara Jerry 'Pacific Empire'
Maxillaria variabilis 'Grace'
Phal. Tai Lin Redangel
Tolumia Genting Peach
Paph noid
Miltonia 'voluptuous' (my new favorite)
In Bud:
C. IWAN Apple Blossom
Miltonia Rene Komoda 'Pacific Clouds'
Phrag. Nitidissimum (bought in 2007 and I've yet to see it bloom)
C. aurantiaca (also my first bloom since I bought it in 2007)
I have other phals spiking and a few others showing potential, but these are the ones either in bloom or soon to bloom.

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, but my camera and I are having a love/hate relationship lately. It doesn't want to cooperate. I think it's just too cold and/or getting cabin fever. Like me! :)

It all looks so pretty and cozy at your house, kiki. These blooms are outstanding and love the background scenery. By the way...what is that white stuff?:snowball

Great growing!

Things are looking great at your place, Kiki! Nice growing. I also have a Phrag. nitidissimum but I just got it last year so I guess I have a while to wait. That's a gorgeous maudiae!

:)
