BEAUTIFUL!!! I am especially in love with the orange/red Volcano Trick Fireball flowers!! Also, Cycnoches are always a favorite! Thanks for sharing!
You’re a peach to include the orchid world in this blog and give us all access to such good photos of great blooms. I’ve been remiss in checking in and now see what I’m missing. I’m off to the archives! (Never participated in a blog before and hope I’m doing this right.)
Thank so much for sharing these. I cannot wait to go to my first Orchid Society Meeting now! Can you share with me where you purchased the Paph. (venustum album ‘Lemon Twist’ x Carole Kneger ‘Algonquin’ AM/AOS)
Hi, Pat,
I got the Paph at the Orchid Society of Greater Kansas City Holiday Awards Dinner in 2006. It was one of the free plants given to everyone who attended. Whippoorwill Orchids in Rogers, Arkansas, donated the plants. Look forward to seeing you at the OSGKC meeting.
