| Very nice! I like the 3rd one particularly - what is it? I'd have guessed one of the relatives of Cattleyas (Laelia or one of the less common species) but that's not my area of expertise, and the photo doesn't show the growth habit to any extent. Is #2 a species Phalaenopsis? Peggy, the last one is a paphiopedilum - slipper orchid - most of which are fairly easy to grow. I'm a lazy orchid grower, and just getting around to revving up my Phals for the winter growing season. One of the reasons I like them - they'll stand being ignored for weeks on end, and then start up from where they left off, provided they aren't insulted when they're in bud. |
