SHOW US YOUR ORCHIDS/FLOWERS!

[JMatt]

I grow mine mostly in my basement under lights. It's much cooler down there. They can be tricky, I am still learning with these things myself!

The only Masdie that ever bloomed for me was a Masd infracta. But I decided to go out a winner and traded it before it could go the way of every other Masdie family plant I've tried. I didn't kill that many, but they were generally smaller when they left than when they arrived. The infracta had one good year out of the few I had it. But my Bulbo blumeii has a Masdie sort of appearance and I guess it satisfies my need for a three pronged flower.

OK, due to the encouragement offered by sumbuddy here on this site, I started a photo archive of my orchids.
I have quite a few to get posted yet but I got a start.
If your interested you can view them at this link.

Jeff's Orchids

None of my orchids are currently flowering, but I'm hoping they will again in spring.
Found the tag to this one laying around, finally.
Epi. Green Hornet (lancifolium x cochleatum)

Don't remember. Can anyone ID? >.>;

The plant in the background in the first photo is this orchid, but after it had finished blooming.

 

[tommyr]

Can't ID that but it's gorgeous!

 

[glider14]

dunno. but it looks like a Cymbidium hybrid.

Pretty I only have a raatle sanke orchid native to oregon but I may get more native terrestrials sometime if I can find them. If I had room I'd grow more but untill I get a greenhouse or move I am stuck with getting a few small native terrestrials

That looks like two different orchids. Do you know the name(s)?

 

[theyellowdart]

Here's some kind of Phal we got a few years ago. I dodn't know exactly what kind it is, but I know it has to be one of the more common types.

This picture doesn't really do it's justice. The plant is a darker pink around the edges and gradually lightens toward the center.

 

[Capensis]

I don't think that's a phal. Or are the really common ones that are white and look like that phals? I don't really grow Orchids, but we have several outside with flowers that shape.

 

[theyellowdart]

It came labeled as a Phal... It also looks like one. Are you thinking of a paph perhaps?

 

[Capensis]

Oh, I guess I was, heheh...It's very nice, Btw. Sorry about that.
