Encyclia tampense 'alba' orchid in bloom

[Brutal_Dreamer]

I probably should have waited till more of this orchid blooms were open before posting, but I just wanted to share it. This guy is growing in a tiny pot, but has four or five spikes. It is very compact and Shann would love the p-bulbs because they are like perfect little marbles.

Anyway, here is my

Encyclia tampense 'alba'

Very pretty, BD! Thanks for sharing! Can we see a picture showing the p-bulbs?

Beautiful! Do you have a pic of the "marbles" too?

That's so cute Bruce. I think I'm liking green flowers more and more.

Ohhhh I have one of these...hope it blooms for me this year but it has a bad reoccuring t-scale issue. Such a pretty bloom...very smooth looking. Do you have a pic of the plant?

This pic is a year old but this is the plant I have:

Well, I had to get a little creative with the photos since it was close to sunset here. I hope these will do. The pot is only a 2.5 or 3 inch pot. I thought it was a four incher, but I guess it is not that big yet. I put a US quarter in the photo to help with scale. A quarter is about 1 inch across.

She looks so happy and healthy! And the pictures are good! Are this your dogs? I thought you have a cat...(I have two indoor cats that I have for a while since they were babies and two outdoor that came with the house and I am taking care of them... Boys inside and the girls outside...LOL)

[Brutal_Dreamer]

Yes, those are two of my dogs. We have four. One Great Dane and three hounds. The two in the photos are the ladies. (Of course they snuck into the photo..lol) I have one kitty left, but he lives in the house. He is 16. His mate, Puss, died about a month ago of renal failure. She was also 16. I also have a blue and gold macaw to keep me company. lol.

Beautiful!!! I see you didn't let the girls on the video... They are probably mad on you now... LOL Sorry about the kitty... (I lost a persian cat years ago, she was young, but had kidney disease... I still can't get over it...)
Sounds like a "non stop party" with the company you have... They are fun!!!
