Blooming continues

I am amused by the phals that span their blooming time for several months producing sequential buds on the same spikes.
Here is Phalaenopsis Vio Vio. I checked my log - it opened first bloom back in June. Since then - it always has a flower on. When one wilts - new bud is just ready to open. It is on fourth bloom now and fifth bud is growing:




I also like how heavy textured the flower is and of course the fragrance.



Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi 'red' stays in bloom since beginning of May. At first it had one flower on each spike at the time. Now it is producing clusters of blooms. I wonder if it is something that all cornu-cervis do, or I just got lucky with this particular plant:



It is also somewhow hard to photograph as a whole plant. Picture always comes out either blurry or wrongly focused or with too much shine.



Equalacea coerulea actually just started blooming recently, it now has two blooms opened and third bud growing. I like how crisp and delicate the flowers are:



The whole plant is extremely cute:

Paphiopedilum Fanaticum

I bought this Paph back in spring but forgot to log it in.
It is still alive and growing, althiugh lost couple of bottom leaves and looks kind of short.



Together with Paph. Fanaticum I also bought Paph. Magic Lanthern. I didnt forget to log that one in, but today I removed it from the list. The brown patch at the bottom was rot that was spreading to each next leaf until none was left.

Phalaenopsis violacea 'red'

Here are the small seedling and the tiny seedling of Phal. violacea 'red'.



The little one dropped out of the moss where the main seedling was wrapped. I assumed - it is the same type.
Maybe not. If it survives, in many years, I might find out.
I bought the seedling against my rule of only mature plants again because you don't see that many of violacea 'red' mature plants for sale here and I have this idea of collecting all types of violacea and bellina.
So, it was a legitimate purchase in some way.

C. aurantiaca x L. angereri

C. aurantiaca x L. angereri is growing a new pseudobulb.



Normally with all other my catts it wouldn't be a big deal - most of them grew more than one p-bulb since spring.
However it is a very big deal for C. aurantiaca x L. angereri because since its appearance here last fall it didn't grow a thing until now.
I mean there were new roots of course but all catts grow new roots like crazy, I wanted a new growth that potentially could flower some time in the future.
Stubborn plant was just sitting there doing nothing and I was questioning the usefullness of this purchase.
So, I was really happy to discover this little nub growing into new bulb.

Phalaenopsis fasciata 'Shaffers'

I got so busy with new phals, that totally forgot about my Phal. fasciata 'Shaffers' that lives here since last fall.
Now it activated three spikes and grows three buds:



Last time it flowered in December, so now is probably the time to start blooming again. This guy is a known bud blaster and last time I only got one flower.
Now I keep him in a humidity tray and that should help to keep all buds until opening, hopefully.
