now that i look at it, I have quite a few doing their own thing.. not to bad maybe next year I'll see more come into maturity

This guy:
{{gwi:207405}}
Pleurothallis alata

I take no credit for it, it arrived this way. But it is neat all the same. This orchid is TINY... you could cover the top of the pot with a quarter, and the flower is smaller than a housefly.

I've got others in spike, but not very advanced yet. I'm happiest about aerangis citrata, as all of its buds blasted (all 23 of them!) when I received it last year. Now it's coming into spike under my care, and in high humidity, so I may just see the flowers after all!

One of the phals that I rescued (at a discount) from Home Depot is in spike. The other phal has just finished. The four babies (Onc, Den, Catt, Van) survived the summer and have put on leaves. They like the new terrarium/light/mist arrangement.

Florrie

quinnfyre, I got my Pleurothallis alata in bloom during the summer so I can't take all the credit either. But it has been in bloom ever since. And it won my local orchid society's Trophy of the Month for November. So now I have this huge (ugly) loving cup on the fireplace mantel won by a plant in a 1" pot. (Tip: when bringing micro flowers to your show & tell, bring a magnifying glass as well)

And I have a first spike on an Aerangis citrata as well. Hope it doesn't blast, but since it will be a first bloom on this small seedling I got from Oak Hill, I won't be too upset; they tend to do that the first time out.

Terp, why do you think your Haraella is blasting its buds? How are you growing it? Mine is in a kitchen window mounted on a small piece of very open treefern. It is watered every day because it dries out overnight. I just counted 8 open flowers and three more big fat buds, and it looks like it is starting a second fan. It seems to stay in bloom most of the time, but this is the most I have seen.

Tyler, have you gotten a whiff of your Sharry Baby previously? I was wondering how fragrant that particular clone is.

I am jealous of some of the Angs here that I don't have, or have killed in the past. Grrrrrrrr. I want. I want.

I took shortcuts on the names because I'm lazy, but if you need any info. let me know.

Carol

My, my, my...some of you folks have the fever BAD!!! ;-)

Since CJ mentioned people might want to use this list to find orchids to fill gaps in their blooming, I wanted to give a mention to some phals that are nearly perpetual-blooming, putting out new spikes while still in bloom, or continuing to bloom off old spikes.

Phals still in bloom after spiking last spring, some even in Dec of 07, blooming all summer and still going like the energizer bunny: Many are what are called "novelty" phals, with a good percentage of summer-bloomers with waxy flowers in the ancestry..

Sogo Champion -- waxy intense purple, blooms continuously, individual flower lasts more than 4 months.

Frieda Shapira (#1 I think) -- waxy/glossy intense magenta, puts out more than one stem, and keeps flowering from the same stem. Flowers last. Tall spikes and very showy.

Brother Precious Stones -- several stems of waxy/glossy intense red/magenta. Blooms continuously off old stems, and flowers last for months.

Brother Pirate King another waxy/glossy purple magenta that blooms continuously.

Sogo Grape 'Fireball'. Waxy/glossy maroon red flower. Very glossy when new. Blooms continuously on several shortish spikes.

Sogo Rose. Waxy/glossy magenta flower, very flat and beautiful, very glossy. In bloom since Jan 08.

(Yes, I collect the ones with waxy/shiny flowers)

Little Emperor -- branching stems of gold flowers. Flowers last

Gold Tris -- branching stems of gold flowers, smaller than L Emp. Nice fragrance that wafts a short distance. Noticeable if you brush by or pick it up. Has three spikes, blooming off two old and one new spike. Flowers last.

Purple Martin -- Small flowers on short spikes. Opens dark blue/purple, fading to blue/lavender. Lip is a beautiful intense velvety dark purple. Lip doesn't fade. Not very showy, but charming, blooming continuously on old spikes and putting out new ones. Said to produce branching spikes as it gets older. Mine are unbranched.

Brother Sara Gold 'Sogo' bloomed frpom July 07 thru April of 08, and in spike now. Flowers last a long time.

Newberry Parfait 'Picotee' a big white flower with a clear pink picotee around the edge . Really beautiful. The pink is a clear pink, no magenta or dirty pink in this flower. Puts out new spikes while the old are still blooming. Carter & Holmes bred this, and say it is almost continuously in bloom. That's been my experience with it.

Carol, I really don't know. I used to own one that bloomed and grew well for me (though in a different house). Its in a WSW kitchen window on cork with a bed of sphag. The only thing I can think of is that its not getting watered enough. I watered it once a day-ish over the summer indoors. I'm trying watering it 2x a day now to see if that helps. If that doesn't work I'm debating demounting it and putting it in a pot. We'll see what happens.

not too much at the moment
Den. Burana Sunrise
Den. Burana Jade
Psychopsis Kalihi
Phrag Uranus (darn things been blooming since May)
Brassavola nodosa "Other Worlds" ( almost never out of bloom)
Cattleya bowringiana
Den. miyakei
Den. Kuniko
Cychnodes Wine Delight 'JEM'
Ctsm. Dragon's Whiskers
Arundina graminifolia
Arundina bamboosifolia
Phal. Baldan's Kaleidescope
and an orange colored mule ear Oncidium that I can't remember the name of

Actually, my Haraella is grown fairly dry. The old treefern mount is very porous unlike some that are quite dense and heavy, there is no sphag pad, and I often forget to water it for as much as a week at a time. It seems to like to dry out in between waterings. For the past couple months it has been in a NE window which is pretty dim. Seems to be a pretty tough plant that thrives on some neglect.

During the hot summer in the GH, it gets soaked probably every day but is bone dry by the next morning, just in time to get soaked again.

Three years ago, someone gave me four little orchids in plastic tubes. He had gotten them in Singapore over a year before that and kept them in the closed plastic tubes. The cards that came with the orchids are in Chinese! The only English says "Vandaceous hybrids" That's all I know.

Florrie

cjwatson: I have both a Sharry Baby and the Unicorn Raspberry clone. They both flowered for me at the same time last year. They're both fragrent...closing my eyes I couldn't really tell the difference. The Unicorn Rasperry seems like it's just smaller with a slightly different flower. A better fit for my small space.

Tyler

Woah...I am so impressed!

Dend Peng Seng

My laelia rubescens blasted after spiking :(

Brooke - you have Dend. tobaense in bloom? Could you please please post photos?? :D

Carol - I love catt luteola - any pics?

-Cal

Cal, labiata or luteola?

Tyler, that's interesting that the Sharry Baby 'Unicorn Raspberry' clone is a smaller plant. My big old 'Sweet Fragrance' is a big ox and definitely not a windowsill grower.

Florrie, anyone who can keep those little tube seedlings alive for three years is doing something very right. They very often die when taken out of their tubes.

Calvin I don't have a pic of it yet but will get the hubby to do it tomorrow.

Brooke

Hi Cal,

My luteola has juvenile sheaths... if you want a photo, send me an email. Last spring, the sheaths were 1 or 2 days away from blooming, before we left for FL.
The plant sitter is quite good, but from experience I don't ask her to take photos.lol.
I forgot to mention my Blc. Crowfield 'Mendenhall' has buds.;)

CJ, My Vasco. Viboon Velvet 'Perfection' has a spike (noticed today). It also blooms a long time for me. Last time was 5 months. Also have 2 or 3 more (like Muang Thong) that seem to bloom forever. Those pastel pinkish /white vandaceous ones must have the longevity gene.

Carol

Carol - ah I realize now that this one was listed as in sheath. :-) I'd love to see pics when it blooms

Cal - me too!

I'm looking forward to seeing your Blc. Yellow Bird when it blooms...is it the first or the second one? Don't tell -let me guess for now! :)

Carol

Lets see.

In bloom:
Bllra. Marfitch 'Howard's Dream'
Dgmra. Winter Wonderland 'White Fairy'
Lc. Bowri-Albida 'Pink Lady'
Slc. Chocolate Wine
Dor. Chumpornensis

In bud:
NOID Cymbidium (got absolutely nothing last year, but 6 spikes this year!)

In early spike:
Den. xDelicatum (looks like I might get about 15 spikes again this year)
Dtps. Leopard Prince
Aer. luteo-abla var. rhodistictum

Can I put in my bid for the booby prize?

Nothing blooming now (apart from a bromeliad achmea and various cyclamens)

In spike:
Dtps 'Blackjack'
Den. nobile (no other name - flowers described as "pink and yellow with burgundy centres" - have yet to verify)

In sheath:
Bllra 'Tahoma Glacier'
Epicatt 'Don Herman'

Everything else putting out new growth of some sort.

Beat that if you can!
Judy

Calvin just for you - Dend. tobaensis

{{gwi:207410}}

This species blooms for months.

Brooke

very nice, brooke!

I agree - this is amazing. I can't wait till mine decides to bloom. Thanks for the photo, B :)

-cal

Pleurothallis grobyi is spiking!! I wasn't expecting that. So we can add that to my meager list of what's almost blooming now. Because what's blooming for me right now is nearly every African violet I own... but no orchids : (

Cjwatson, how is your pleuro alata doing? Is it still blooming? Mine promptly dropped that cute little flower shown above, and is still deciding if it likes it here, I think. It is in my ang/pleuro case, and gets tended daily (my case is filled with mounties). Humidity still solidly in the 75-90% range, most often about 77-82%. And air circulation seems pretty good. I was wondering how you grow your alata, as I've realized I don't quite know how I'm supposed to be growing mine. Alata doesn't seem to be as popular as some of the other pleuros...

quinnfyre, yes the alata is still blooming. The plant has about 20 spikes on it that each rebloom several times so don't cut the 'dead' spikes off. It also has a bunch of cute seed caps as well.

The way I grow my little Pleuros is I use those clear plastic $1 shoeboxes (toss the lid). They have enough height to hold in humidity, and the plants are only 1" to 4" tall anyhow. I put the plants in groups into plastic vanda baskets, 6" mostly, which keeps the plants from continually falling over and also holds them up above the bottom of the box where water tends to accumulate. This way, I can keep about 1/4" of water in the bottom to raise the humidity up a bit more than the 50% the greenhouse runs without keeping the plants soggy. To water, pick up the two baskets, hose the plants off, and return to the shoebox. The boxes (I have about four of them) are put to the side of the shoplights on a dim shelf at the back of the GH. They don't need very bright light.

I am only using the vanda baskets because I have a stack of them; I didn't buy them for this purpose. Anything else can be used that fits the same type of description; the housewares department in stores have all kinds of possibilities. This is what my baskets look like. I use them for Vandas, too :-)

Here is a link that might be useful: Vanda baskets

Thanks for the info. It's nice to have an idea of how someone else is growing it, with success.

Seems I actually spoke too soon. Those 'dead' spikes, which really do look like they're done and spent, have buds on them now. I've got at least two or three buds started. I'm really glad I never got around to cleaning it up... I would never have guessed those little dried up threads would actually produce flowers!

I might be growing mine a bit too bright, but I'm not sure. Does your alata get yellow leaves here and there?

Grobyi's spikes are growing fast, and surprisingly long for such a small plant. I'm excited!

Now if aerangis citrata would only pick up the pace... spike is still progressing nicely, but I feel like it'll be February before it actually blooms. Which might actually be the case, come to think of it. I got it last year around late Jan/early February, in spike.

quinnfyre, I went out to check on the lighting for the alata. It is being grown fairly shady, no more than 1500fc at the max but usually aroung 1000fc. I don't get yellow leaves unless the leaves are close to their demise.

It's amazing how those dead-looking old spikes can keep producing flowers. I see some which have produced at least four flowers and possibly more.

Pths grobyi is cute and can literally cover itself with spikes, especially when the plant reaches specimen size. Someday hopefully.

citrata is considered a spring bloomer. Be patient. All Angraecoids seem to be very slow developing their spikes and buds, often 6 months from the initiation of the spike to the bloom.

Sounds like you're doing real good with these three.

My Den Salaya Minist and Onc. Carnival Costumes. My Cym. "Maureen Carter" is in serious spike and will soon open!

i am happy to add pleuro restrepioides 'dragonstone' to my list of those blooming. when i had submitted my list earlier i wasn't sure if those growth were spikes or not.
sue

Tommy, I wish Cymbidiums would grow here. Even though the 'warmth tolerant' types will live, they never would bloom with our long hot summers. (that's what 'tolerant' means: the plant will survive, but not necessarily grow well or bloom)

Sue, wish I could grow the Pleuro restrepioides also. It hates heat. Sigh.

Just took a run through the greenhouse. Lots of the ones in the initial thread post are no longer in bloom, but a few more are in bloom or serious bud:

Anoectochilus burmannicus - a jewel orchid, grown for its leaves.
Hispaniella (Tolumnia) henekenii
Leptotes unicolor
Microsaccus wenzelii
Vanda lamellata

Bc Makai 'Mayumi' (B. nodosa x C. bowringiana)
Blc Coastal Royalty (L. anceps x Blc Peggy O'Neill)
Blc Lahaina Novelty (B. perrinii x Blc Waikiki Gold)
Brassavola Crazyarachno (perrinii x cucullata)
Cattleya Hawaiian Comfort (walkeriana x Bob Betts)

Ionocidium Misty 'Highlands'(primary hybrid between an Ionopsis and an Oncidium, don't know which ones.
Laelia Ancibarina 'Rosedust' (anceps x cinnabarina)
Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm'

I'm very slow and bad at typing from a list and no I can't remember them all so I took pictures and put them in the Orchid section @ bobweis.com Ok I'm lazy too

Hello,
Here's a few things I have in bloom:
