Hey DC... harvest me some passion flower seeds to plant next spring. I like that particular color better than the one I have at the moment. :bowing

Second pic that looks like something flying... what is that? Yellow bloom above ghost pot pic.. same question.
Ghost pot... made me start thinking about weeds in your climate. Are weeds as much of a problem as marauding lizards? |
Looks like you will get at least one of the Catasetum group! I hope it is where lizards can't get in, in case there were any survivors of your "campaign"
|
The second one is Den. Lewin park. The yellow and pink one is a ground orchid that I may have hybridized (or my yard did) as it appeared in between a bunch of yellow and purple ones
---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ---------- Weeds appear in every pot eventually and I just pull or cut them as needed. They are less of an issue on mounts. That’s why I like them lol Roberta- they are still vulnerable but I am vigilant |
Hey! Speaking of vigilance... have you run the trap line yet?
|
Spathoglottis plicata
Lol. I have only one trap made so far but it’s right next to this plant |

Yup, as I said... give it six months. Have I mentioned lately how much I love anoles? And is that a real Catesetum blooming, or are you faking it? And have you caught any lizards yet?
Yes, my mind does work just like the above... focus, WaterWitchin, FOCUS. |
it is a REAL catesetum with really female flowers
i caught one in the bottle trap so far... a tiny but still the curly tail type...I like the fact that it allows me to see it without killing it. same discretion i have with the bb gun i cannot wait to have too many onions be a problem lol I have the failed watermelon spot which is 2x8...is that better? |
It is better, yes. Plant them all in the middle.
|
Excellent show DC. Excellent. The spider with the green round patch on the back is amazing. Enjoyed seeing all those pics together.
|
I got more than usual number of female flowers on Catasetums this year too... I agree, maybe things were TOO good... the female flowers are intriguing, but if you've seen one... Except for some variation in the amount of color in the petals, they pretty much all look alike.

Along with gorgeous orchids, I love the wildlife!
|
Nice, DC. You seem to always have multiple beauties in bloom. I love the fauna too.
|
Thank you thank you thank you
I have a lot of plants so...lol The egret pic is during the tropical storm, Eta. I went out to check on stuff and saw her standing there and had two thoughts; i want to take this pic; if this bird is just standing out here, it ain’t that bad. |
The egret was just there due to the storm, right? Tell me they don't prance regularly around in your yard.
The lizard.... so sleek, so chill. Wanna pet it. Nice blooms as well. :biggrin: I love the calamari... really need to seek one of those out some day. |

i am about 3.5 miles to the Everglades, as the ibis flies, and 13 to the ocean so i get great birds moving through. the absolute best is at night(before dusk) when approximately 1,295,239 seagulls fly overhead to roost in the everglades i have a young P chochleata (sp?) that i will transition into SH for your eventual next box |
Such lovely flowers (and wildlife)! I don't want to spoil the party, but are those markings on that pink noid Cattleya normal/due to the lighting, or could they be a sign of a virus?
|
It’s Lways been like that for me.... I also shoot pics at night and while watering so it is always possible it is a bad pic too lol

1- the bamboo orchid is really becoming excellent- it is over 6' tall and eigth tops are in flower!

What is the monster #3?? That Arundina graminifolia clearly loves the climate. I have one that is struggling... too cold, I think.
|
It's a Dutchman's Pipe, Roberta. Isn't it splendid? I'd never seen one like it before DC posted it on a different thread.... http://www.orchidboard.com/community...tml#post944592
---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ---------- PS You live tropical enough... maybe it would survive your winters? Find a good spot for carrion/sweet lemonade smell and get it going! It supposedly grows fairly quickly. I'm gonna try it as either an annual, or cut back and bring inside for winter in a pot. Minus any blooming inside of course. |
I have two things working against me when I try to grow those decidedly tropical plants... cold (not by Midwest standards, but 39 deg F is not very tropical) and low humidity (the last month or so has gotten close to single digits in the middle of the day on occasion) I water the the heck out of the orchids but everything else has to either thrive or not...
|
That is a fair cut off. Some are worth work but not every plant can require work
It is a fun plant. There are always some creatures buzzing around it. |

yes!!!! that is also where you NEED the sarracenia! they are wasp DESTROYERS. in fact- prior to the chemical disaster of '20 i had the most explosive growth when my neighbor smashed a paper wasp nest....the pipes were FULL it was a lovely bloodbath!! flies were coming in to see what was happening and getting banged by the drosera and the flytraps. perfect harmony of death :)

Is the 3rd one down Arachnis flos-aeris? VERY cool (or warm actually... ) And that Catasetum waking up... I'm still trying to get most of mine to go to sleep. Like dealing with a little kid. ("But I'm not tired...")
|
I have the label as arachnis Maggie oei. It is a handwritten one. No nursery so I suspect a homestead trip (Redlands)
And the catasetum are hilarious. I also still have some with leaves from last year. I guess I’ll just keep em out and wet and see lol ---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ---------- As usual, Roberta, you never cease to amaze Maggie oei is a hybrid of A hookerina and A flos-aeris Great eye flos-aeris has a lot more green. Lovely. I want it |
That Arachnis is really distinctive. And of course, something I can't grow (too warmth-loving to grow outside and too big for the GH) Grass always greener on the other side of the fence...:biggrin:
|
I have an Aranda Bertha Braga looks just like it. Maggie Oei is one of the parents with Vanda tricolor. Those Arachnis genes must be strong!

I love how Brassia hybrids are by default all useless now.
What's the name of n°1? Brassocattleya Yellow Bird? Brassocattleya Piece of Garbage? Did your bog garden survive? I'm interested in growing carnivorous in S/H like you did! |
