Bulbophyllum Kalimpong blooms

Here is my first success with bulbophyllums. I got this Bulbophyllum Kalimpong from Piping Rock Orchids, it was potted established division, but I decided to mount it on the piece of cork bark.
It took plant about a year to get re-established enough to bloom. Didn't do anything special for it really, just watered, so it tells me this cross is an easy bloomer...

Phalaenopsis Nobby's Fox in bloom

Phal. Nobby's Fox = Buena Jewel x Penang Girl. Wonderful cross - has very pleasant fragrance, pretty colors and nice shape. Also blooms a lot.
This time it has blooms on three spikes at the same time. Too bad spikes are too short.

Cattleya aurantiaca 'SVO 4N' x Laelia angereri 'Peter T.' bloomed in my orchid tank

Only 6 months since last blooming and here it is again. My aurantiaca x angereri cattleya flowers again.
I grew this plant from small seedling that came from Cloud's and kind of proud that could bloom it all by myself.
Strange that this cross is not registered yet, I have it for 4-5 years already.
Really like this plant.

Phalaenopsis speciosa C1 blooming

My speciosa C1 is blooming again and this time it has plenty of red, although one flower is totally white.
Her is the video of the blooms:

Phal. cornu-cervi blooms again and reference website additions

My huge Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is blooming again. And is growing a small keiki too.
Here is the video of it:


I also added Lycaste and Miltoniopsis to Orchideya.ca...

Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana bloomed again

Such a productive little plant Phal. lueddemanniana used the same two old spikes to flower this time. And again two blooms opened up almost simultaneously. Instead of pictures I created video:



I now kind of sorry that I removed keiki from it. Would be a really nice display if keiki produced the flowers too at the same time.
I like everything about this species and would like to add one more - the paler version of it.

C. aurantiaca 'SVO' 4N x L. angereri 'Peter T.'

Here is what blooms in my tank now :





I got it as a small seedling from Clouds back in 2011. This is already second blooming. Last time it flowered in February 2015 and there were only 5 flowers. This time should be 12 blooms.

Phal. Buena Jewel x Penang Girl

Phal. Buena Jewel x Penang Girl took a while to bloom, but now there are three spikes in progress.
First flower on first spike:



I like it.

Phalaenopsis bellina bllomed

Bellina bloomed again. I waited some time before taking a picture hoping that flower flattens up again, but it looks like this time it decided to stay cupped:



Fragrance fills the tank...

Phragmipedium caudatum var fortuna

The bloom has opened on Phrag caudatum. It is the only phrag that grows nicely for me and now blooms.

Two phalaenopsis crosses in bloom:

Phal. amboinensis x corningiana:



The second bud is in an awkward position to make a nice picture of the opened flower.

Phal. Chang Maw Evergreen 'U-Bix' x P. {Tzu Chiang Litlitz x P. (Buena Jewel x Peach State Red)} x P. (Su-An Super Star x George Vasquez):



One of my favorites, has incredible fragrance...

Phal. speciosa C1

Blooming continues. Two more flowers opened up, one is completely white, the other has one red petal:



Not too much red this time around, but still better than just white last time...

Phal. speciosa C1 bloom

My Phal speciosa C1 bloomed and now it has one red petal (last time blooms were all white for some reason):



I like the shape and size of the blooms on this phal. There are three more buds on different spikes, hopefully they won't blast.

Phal. lueddemannianna blooms

And bloom is upside down:



Not sure why. Spike was really short and I was afraid that it will get burried back into bark. It didn't, but spike turned over.
There is one more spike with bud coming up. I wonder if that one will flower correctly:

Phal. Chang Maw Evergreen 'U-Bix' x P. {Tzu Chiang Litlitz x P. (Buena Jewel x Peach State Red)} x P. (Su-An Super Star x George Vasquez) blooms

One of my favorite phals in the tank despite the long name.



It always hangs down out of the pot.



The fragrance is strong and pleasant.

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi 'red' x Tsay's Evergreen

This phal has several spikes and usually blooms every year. There are few more buds to open soon.



The latest spike came out sort of in the middle of the plant and I thought it was a terminal spike. Now looking at it closer, I think maybe it is not terminal after all:



We'll see if the new leaf will be able to come out there ...

C. aurantiaca 'SVO' 4N x L. angereri 'Peter T.' bloomed

C. aurantiaca 'SVO' 4N x L. angereri 'Peter T.' made the first bloom cluster.



I am particularly proud of these blooms because I bought the plant as a seedling from Clouds orchids and grew and bloomed it myself.



Not a big fan of cattleyas, most of them are too fluffy for my taste, but this one I like.



Plant lives in my large tank and seems to like it.

Updated vietnamense bloom pictures

Here are the pictures of my blooming vietnamense in the daylight.
It is not as bluish as it looked in previous post:



Plant picture:

Paphiopedilum vietnamense

One more paph decided to bloom - Paph. vietnamense:



Reminds me of a cute sad dog with floppy ears...

Paph Armeni White

It bloomed few weeks back and I was postponing taking a picture due to extreme laziness. Now the flower started to decay, lesson to me....
