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. Yungho Gelb Canary ‘Chin Yo’ X DTE deflasking

Couldn't pass few novelty phal hybrid flasks from Kingfisher Orchids.
Phal. Yungho Gelb Canary ‘Chin Yo’ X Dragon Tree Eagle:



There are about 20 plants, all had nice roots on deflasking. Should be an awesome cross...

Paphiopedilum anitum flask update

After two months all anitums are still alive. They did loose some bottom leaves and have some damage from the unfortunate crash of phalaenopsis onto them.







It is hard to say if there was any growth, probably no...

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.
