Group shot of current bloomers

I had to move my blooming plants outside of the GH late afternoon yesterday as I was spraying the greenhouse with neem oil to combat the summer ant invasion.
I did not realize I had so many bloomers until I put them all together.

Here's my personal orchid show

Wonderful John.

Lovely bloomers, wow!! They do look nice all together Please pardon my ignorance, but is that chartruse-green one in the back the "gram" that BD is referring to?

[sadie]

Beautiful! Seriously--you could have a table display at any show and be proud. That is a nice bunch.

Thanks everyone

The apple-green flowers in the back is the Grammatophyllum scriptum var. citrinum 'Hihimanu' 4N that I bought from the recent orchid fair.
It was already in spike when I bought it and I am very glad that none of the buds blasted.

The plant weighed a lot though, even when I originally bought it in its plastic pot it must have weighed 10 pounds already. Then I transferred it to a bigger basket when I got home.
With the added weight of the wood basket plus the extra orchid bark, this baby probably weighs 15 pounds or more now and still growing.
If you think cymbidiums are heavy, try a gram
The mature pseudobulbs are as big as large cucumbers from the grocery store - I kid you not!

The dendrobium is a Den. Blue Violetta (formerly I called it 'Old Spikey' until I got a proper ID).
