My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What’s blooming this fall

8 years ago

Hi all! I’m beginning to make the transition from growing cacti to trying orchids, so I’m excited that almost everything I have is in bloom or putting up spikes.

Unknown Cattleya hybrid

Lycaste Cruenta, my absolute favorite smell

Paph. Nike’s Sunny Delight ‘#1’ x Paph. Pinocchio ‘Bright Angel’ —my newest edition

Onc. Sharry Baby—this spike has 86 flowers and smells oh so sweet

My very reliable Onc. Volcano Queen (I think that’s what we decided the ID was, can’t remember but someone here on GW knew)

Last but not least, Den. ‘Mini Purple’. I’m bloom when I bought it with only 2 flowers on a single spike. Now it has 3 spikes with at least 4 per spike. Happy with this one!

A little background info, all of my orchids were outside all summer on a 3 tier shelf. They were only watered when it rained, besides a few supplemental waterings, and were fertilized once in June.
