Hello everyone...

Went out outside this morning, to move orchids around - it is going to be a cold night, in the low forties...Had to take some pictures of the yard :)

Cym. Sarah Jean "Ice Cascade"

First flowering...

Cym. Sarah Jean "Ice Cascade"

Rhynchostylis gigantea

First time flowering it...Had the plant for close to two years...from Oak Hill

{{gwi:148934}}

Cymbidium NOID

{{gwi:159590}}

Dendrobium NOID

It is a simple, hard to surprise anyone with plant...But, this tough guy has not stopped blooming for months: a little bit of sunburn from too much light on the leaves, and spike after another....

Slc. Mini Doris 'Carmela' x Blc. Jeremy Island #3

Poor thing got decapitated...twice...first bud got broken off due to heavy winds..second..well, it was opening, and I just had to smell it. I need a hug.

Lc. Jacob Berry

Super red, hard to grasp the color in the picture.. almost blackish red (or, reddish black?)

Little Miah, the gardener

one of my many cats...

And some non-orchid color:

Peach Hibiscus

Miss Ada

Gloriosa Lily

Sorry, got a bit excited (too many pics) ...Whatever it takes not to study :)

Too many? Hardly. Just what I needed to see, since we are getting snow showers/flurries here in western North Carolina today. Thanks for your input!

Cymbids in Tampa? Good for you!

Are any of these from Milton Carpenter's program at Everglades Orchids? He has made some warm-tolerant grexes.

thanks, everyone!

paulraleigh, I might have one or two of my cymbidiums from Milton Carpenter..the rest is either asian cymbidiums or minis with some warm tolerant parentage (article by Nina Rach was of big help)

I am glad you guys liked my little Miah. Miah is a special kitty...I found her as a tiny kitten with a broken tail, which fell off and looked pretty nasty within the next few days of me finding her. Now, she just has a little stump :) Sweety kitty with no tail, different color eyes and lots of attitude to give...

thanks again :)
