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:

Mounted cattleyas

I was repotting my catts and decided to make it more interesting:



Smaller one on the left is laelia alaorii - miniature cattleya with bell shape flower. O the right - laelia sincorana var. coerulea. I already tried to mount cats on this wood, but it was before tanks and didn't work in too dry house conditions. Hope it works this time.

I think it looks cute.

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.
