All angles of #orchid flowers are welcome! 😄 A feeling of early #spring here, to see the first Australian Dendrobium blooms emerge. Color and form are improving each year for this seedling. 🌺👍

First of our Dendrobium speciosum varieties to bloom: var. pedunculatum, northernmost distribution of this Australian #orchidspecies. This one comes inside for the coldest part of winter, unlike the others.

Cymbidium Piñata x Doris. Three excellent #flower spikes this year, must have enjoyed our milder winter weather. I realized how beautiful this one is when I was moving her out of the wind yesterday.

An #orchid name that speaks well for herself: Laelia Santa Barbara Sunset 'Showtime'. One of the great Laelia anceps hybrids, a backcross with Laelia Ancibarina. Boldly and beautifully blooming now.

The blooming Cymbidium tracyanum have left the building! That is, they have left the house and returned outside to grow. A fantastic winter flowering season for this lovely, large #orchidspecies. 😀👍

@Milhart66Ken Thank you! 😊 It’s a good one.

Rhyncolaelia glauca, #orchid native to Mexico & Central America. I wasn't familiar with the fragrance...I first thought my husband used something with a citrus scent in the house. Then I realized the real source! 😁

@truckingoffroad Yes!

There are conflicting intentions and agendas that many do not want to see. The compelling (missing) question of our current era is “what am I not being told about what is happening?” And why?

[An Essence of Orchids @aeorchids]

@ToddW89469388 Yes, not fond of the higher temps. All of ours came through the 2020 big summer heat ok, though they are much more vulnerable to spider mites, probably due to heat stress.

Cymbidium tracyanum, cool-growing #orchid native to China, Myanmar, and Thailand. First flowering of a backbulb propagation, a good "chocolate" colored cultivar. Very fragrant. Beauty for the world today! 💛🙏
