Cattleya Green Emerald (and friends)

All of them so different, and each so beautiful. Good growing!

Hi LuAnn- You are right, that is the thing about orchids- they all tend to have something special "in their own way". Whenever I say that X is my favorite, I immediately think "yes, but what about Y and Z... and then of course there's A,B, and C..."

Ain't that the truth. My kids roll my eyes when they hear me tell a friend that "this is one of my favorites"...because they've heard it sooo many times.

Thanks Bill, I appreciate it. (That unassuming noid is kinda my favorite too!)

Hi Igor,

Beautiful orchids! Good growing! I think your orange noid looks a lot like my Catt Vanda's fire. Here is a picture of it.




What do you think?

Dear Ania, that is so lovely! thanks for sharing this. Wow, you know what, it is indeed possible that mine is indeed a clone of one of the unnamed seedlings from your Vanda's Fire cross. Does yours smell?

[Ania]

Yes, it does have fragrance. I would describe it a floral, but not very refinded.

Well that is another piece of evidence that fits: thanks so much Ania. Slowly I am finding IDs for all my noid plants (almost all my ex noids are of course phals, but also a couple of milts.) I appreciate your generous help, many thanks.

Gorgeous blooms all of them.I'm very impressed with your Blc Sanyang Ruby - not an easy plant to grow at all. Mine has gone to Orchid Heaven and I'm looking for another one.
