Nice clear shots. Be sure to post a pic of the flowers when they come.

Hopefully I will catch them but my other half is due to give birth any time now(shes a week over now!)

Yes! Here in Yankee Land Z9 my M. z is getting ready to bloom as well (pink)...and my M. Luethyi isn't too far behind with 8 buds on one pup mounted on a Trich sp. I bought last month. Considering all the rain we've had (had one perfectly sunny day in last 40 or so), I have kept them dry in the greenhouse :) Our weather reminds me more of the UK than the USA. I will be getting out my digicam and takin pix for sure...if that sun ever comes out again :/ Erik
