After a great vacation.
I moved almost all of the budded and in bloom orchids over to a friend's before I left, and vast majority of my orchids including some budded and in bloom ones stayed here.
I left AC on and curtain drawn low.
One of my favorite lady slippers had one of the new growths rotted out.
Some little ones and not so little ones looked quite thirsty, but the rest were amazingly in better conditions than I had expected.
Here are some pictures that I loved to see upon my return.
Den lamyaiae
Den Akatsuki, beautifully scented and second blooming at odd time of the year, nonetheless welcome
Tolumnia Genting Tequila
Tolumnia Genting Pink Lady, very promising super thick spike
Paph. brachy hybrid finally pushing a spike. can't wait to see the flower!
Paph Fanaticum x malipoense in spike
Paph Lynleigh Koopowitz (with delenatii dunkel) in double bud. One plant has typical green buds, and the other one darker buds. can't wait for them to open up.
Paph Magic Lantern pushing three new growths. You can see only two in the photo. Maybe this will be a super grower like my Armeni White.
Neo Shutennou x Koto cross. It had one spike with one flower last summer, and this year, three spikes!
