A reliable July bloomer for me ; I have several plants now, as it increases in the way that all well-behaved orchids should do ( I hope they are all listening ). This one having three spikes, in perhaps a 7 inch or maybe some funny size ( having been bought with something for the garden and recycled) thereabouts. Usually about 5-6 flowered, but some here are at least 7 I think. Shows what a bit of neglect will do ! Flowers somewhere between 3 and 4 inches . It's before breakfast ( waiting for the kettle to boil) but I don't want to stop and mess about with measuring tapes).
Round about where I live there is a big annual show -3 day event, The New Forest Show , at the end of July, and this plant always features heavily in (one of ) my Orchid Society's displays (good place to pick up new members) , but this year with lockdown, the show is cancelled. A pity, for whilst I have always shunned it, on the basis that I dislike crowds, somehow I feel different this year - maybe its one effect of lockdown and social distancing, I want people around me, I don't want to be alone...
It's a funny life, don't you think ?
