Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

Thanks Fred, things are blooming early this year. But now I have pollen!!!

Wow!!! Gorgeous!!! I can see how it would bring you joy!

Wow that Chico is so exotic looking! It's out of this world!

Here is Flaming Queen, pretty but nothing new.

But still quite pretty :-)))

Pretty Woman, so elegant.

And thanks Fred :) Kept pollen just in case lol. Any of yours getting ready to bloom?

Stardust 5 flowers strong grower

OMG they're beautiful :-)))))) Just this past weekend, I brought up about 60 pots from the basement and some of them are beginning to show some growth. The one I'm dying to see is a pot full of papilio x mandonii that were started from seed in 2018 from a grower in Asia named Tuyet. I've been feeding very well for the past couple of summers and the bulbs have gotten nice and fat :-))) Hopefully they'll flower this year...I'll keep y'all posted!!!

Wow Fred, that cross should give you some outstanding babies!! I hope they flower this year and can't wait to see them! Did you try the foliar Thrive on any?

Hi Jody,

I haven't tried the foliar Thrive yet but I will. I just bought a couple of bottles of the stinky stuff and I have mixed it in the the pressure sprayer I use for my orchids. As soon as the leaves start to grow out...they're gonna get a nice stinky shower :-))))))

Just got into work this morning and Ruby Star said good morning to me :-))))

Fred, your Ruby Star is gorgeous!!!!!! Hoping mine bloom this year. The bulb has grown huge but no sign of a scape, so thanks for sharing pics of yours :)
