    Default August Orchids In Fort Worth

    These three Orchids are the only bloomers I have had this summer.

    1 Zygonisia Cynosure (Not Sure Might be Cattleya Blue Hawaii) or Cattleya Walkeriana

    2 Encyclia Cochleatum (This beauty actually has been blooming since May and it is by far the most prolific Orchid I have ever had here in Fort Worth . No wonder it is the National flower of Belize.)

    3 Oncidium Grower Ramsey

    Great photos, Buzz! Love the Grower Ramsey against the dark blue of the sky. Really well done!

    Cheers,

    I like the picture of the yellow oncid with the blue sky in the background!

    love the photos, but must confess, I'm partial to the Encyclia.

    Thanks Bedt. The Encyclia Cochleatum I have that I have on some type of "drift wood" may bloom around 6-7 at a time for 6-9 months. I have never had any flower that would do that.

    Very lovely group. I actually got to see the encyc. growing wild in Belize this year when I was there. It puts on quite a show. Thanks for sharing.

    Ditto but the blue catt is lovely and the onc pic is eye popping. Good growing.
