Thank you all so much! Loretta would be pleased too. It reminds me to follow every little impulse to be generous in words and deeds because life is too short.

Vanda coerulea 'Loretta'

A reliable summer bloomer. Loretta was a friend of my parents who taught me about gardening when I was 10. I learned that carrots are grown in the ground and peas come from the most wonderful purple...

My favorite cultivar of skinneri. That's beautiful! If you haven't already, put it in direct sun for a few minutes by a window. The texture is like diamonds.

Yep, and don't forget the hurricanes, rising sea levels, and crime (we're hoping more people won't move here - lol).

Thank you. Here in Miami it's grown outdoors with a little benign neglect. It seems to do well with very bright light all winter then lower shaded light during the summer when it makes new growths....

Your first schroderae is fine. That lip is what sets it apart. I love the white fringed edge around that saffron center. Don't want to spoil, but the second schoderae is a hybrid. There's none of...

Dendrobium aggregatum

This is a mesmerizing plant. I have 3 separate plants attached to this weird structure, a coconut shell morphed into a 8" teak basket then chopped up a bit to give it a downward slope and more room...

Dendrobium Fancy Angel 'Lycee' and yellow NOID

Right on time for Easter. I don't have many orchids that work as hard as this. From Yamamoto in Hawaii. Easy to grow, I love them.

Very nice find. It looks like to Hono Hono orchid or Den. anosmum. Some people grow them pendulous and they're awesome. Does it smell like raspberries? That's a giveaway.

I wasn't crazy about Miami when I moved here in 1998, but once I started growing orchids... I can't imagine living anywhere else!

Vanda coerulescens

When you have 100+ orchids placed in trees around a sprawling yard that looks like a jungle, it's not until some are in full bloom before you notice them. This one is small, a single growth with one...

You have bought from the best.

That's a very rare leudde. Kudos! The substance seems par for the course for the species... the lip is spectacular for coloring.

That's gorgeous! Of the Neo hybids Neostylis Lou Sneary is probably tops in popularity (for good reasons), but this one can't be beat for putting on a show. Larger plants become pendulous too. I...

I think you're wise to basket it with bark. Mounts dry withing a few hours and unless you water daily it'll fail. That basket does seem a bit big for the tiny plant but in time it should fill out. ...
