Nice show, Elaine, I enjoyed it and thanks to the Paph Princess for filling in the details. Hilarious!

I'm going to call this "Ode to Oncidiums" as all of mine seem to be in bloom.

And now just to prove I'm not getting a kick-back from the Oncidium alliance, here is Potinara Hoku Gem 'Freckles'.

I'm very partial to 'Luke Skywalker' and the Dergamoara has a really cool shape. They're all lovely, but 'Freckles' is still on my wish list.

Wonderful show, Ursula. I love the Galeandra baueri but am surprised yours is blooming this time of year. I thought it would already be dormant. I'm also very fond of the color on Lc Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royacl Flare'. Very nice.

Absolutely fabulous, to be sure. So jealous of the lovely David Sanders - I have two plants, and sure hope one day they see fit to give up a flower or two!

Louise is a really amazing subtle color, too.

I do have a couple of Bc. Little Stars opening - picture tomorrow. Been out sailing all day and I am so sleepy! Blinking

I keep hoping to run into a David Sanders but so far no luck! I do have a bud on Brassavola cucullata though. How big is your plant/flowers, Jim?
