It’s amazing how every time I think flowering is stopping, something comes up with buds in no time. Evenings have been cool for Caracas (15-17C at the low point every evening which will be good for flowering in a month or two, plants like that very much.
On the top left is a Sobralia Leucoxantha from the Venezuelan Andes. It may look like a Cattleya, but it is anything but one. First of all it is a dirt orchid, the flower comes out and lasts barely one day and other flowers come out later of the top of the same branch, from the same bud, seuqnetially behind the previous one. On the right is a Cattleya Nobilior from Brazil.
I love this Cirrhopetalum Coralifferum from Asia. It is one inch in diameter and look on the right picture the close up of the detail it has.
On the left Comparettia Macroplectrum from the Andes from Venezuela to peru. Top right, a Phalenopsis which I have had so long I don’t even have a tag for it or remember it’s name.
Two pictures from my very generous Cattleya Gaskelliana Mimi x Aida. These are from two separate plants. This is a large plant with roots outside the pot and some 20 flowers and/or buds total
This hybrid has the name of a flower, but I can’t remember it right now, it’s Lc. and then some common flower name.
