My orchid bench is completely stuffed full. But I visited Fantasy Orchids today and they had antelope Dendrobiums, which I can't resist. Dendrobium Chocolate Antlers.

Stenorrhynchos speciosa is a "jewel" orchid. Jewel orchids are grown for their attractive leaves rather than their flowers. But this one does also have attractive flowers...

A new bloom in the house. I raised this Vanda miniata from seedling. 28 months later I have a bloom! Scale reference: the flowers are less than 1/2 inch each.

Dactylorhiza viridis, the Frog Orchid, growing wild in Colorado. This orchid is rather hard to find because it blends in well with its fellow plants.

Seedlings coming in to maturity! I've grown these two for about two years, straight from flask. The obvious spike with bud is Phragmipedium Inca Fire 'Crimson Queen' x kovachii 'Drumlin Star'. The brand new spike peeking out is Phrag. fischerii

Today's new bloom - Brassavola cuculatta. Love the frilly lip and colored, droopy petals!

Phalaenopsis violacea var. coerulea 'Indigo' - a really purple boutique Phal, first bloom on a young plant.

Got behind on my orchid blooms. Renantanda Sunrise 'Prasong' is a complex compact vandaceous hybrid with lovely orange-red flowers

This #orchid is a good candidate for being a hybrid between heath spotted and southern marsh orchids. Both parents in the vicinity. #orchidsofmastodon #orchidsofthefediverse #wildflowerhour

Two versions of Tolumnia Jairak Firm, 'Spotty' and 'Big Bang'. Such color variety from a single grex.

Incredible miniature Cattleya (Sophronitis) pygmea in comparison to its moderate-sized cousin Cattlianthe Gold Digger.

The full bloom of my little Dendrobium canaliculatum. This miniature antelope Dendrobium is brightly colored and has a pleasant floral scent.

This morning's bloom. Cattlianthe Gold Digger 'Fuchs Mandarin'

A new to me lady slipper out in bloom today, first of three spikes! I've had this plant for about 8 months. Phrag. Fedora Brochu
