Orchids around the Yard.

Hoping everyone has had a good start to the new year.
Here's a few recent blooms from my yard.
A pure white Sobralia, might be my new favorite. Not sure on the ID so far.

Sobralia luteola, a lot smaller and less showy, but has the nice trait of putting on a continuous show for a few weeks instead of the typical few random days through out the year that most Sobralias bloom on.

A SVO plant I picked up that was labeled Ctsm. tigrinum x self. But I suspect it's mislabeled.

A pleurothallid with succulent leaves that I haven't ID'd yet.

A Maxillaria from the woods near my house.

The very common but very showy S. chrysostoma

I also picked up a few new orchids from a guy nearby.
a Lockhartia that's slightly different than the one I already have.

And a couple of Mormodes, I selfed the yellow one. Not a very common color, so hopefully I have some luck with germination.

What a happy place! Looks like 2022 is going to be a blooming good year. Stay well.

I think that yellow one is the parent to the cychnodes jumbo puff I was looking at the other day.
All great colors. Thanks for showing us.

Looking at the OrchidRoots page on Cycnodes 'Jumbo Puff' it's a Cycnoches warszewiczii × Mormodes badia cross. Mine is a Costa Rican native, so not M. badia, but very similar. I'm think it might be a yellow M. skinneri because the lip was fuzzy like is typical if that species. I'm going to be trying a bunch of inter-generic Mormodes crosses in the months to come. Hopefully I'll get some to germinate. I have a bunch of normal non hybrid ones that germinated well on some live posts so maybe hybrids will too.
