My specimen plant of Cattleya Skineri (Central American species) is in flower, a little too early for the Ciencias Orchid Show like last year, but I took this neat picture of part of it.
Top left: One of the lesser known Venezuelan Cattleyas, Cattleya Lawrenceana, very delicate. On the right, my best Cattleya Jenmanii coreulea. This variety tends to give flowers which are not well shaped, but this one is quite good.
Above left, another one of my Cattleya Loddigessi growing on cork, sometimes they can grow in any direction when they are on a slab of cork. On the right Encyclia Cochleata, a very straneg looking one.
Above and below three more of the new Australian Dendrobia I spoke about last week, trying to sort out the names.
