    Gorgeous display, love the way that pulchra has grown- when you are ready to trade off a keiki lmk.

    Olya,

    You always inspire me to do a better job with my orchids after I see yours! Thank you my friend for sharing, and thank you for showing everyone the "fruits of your labor".

    Thank you so much for all your comments!

    Sambac, yes, eventually pulchra will have keikis...I have the plant in a lot of light - Brazilian miltonias are blooming next to it! - so for now it keeps blooming...but it will form keikis, it is the nature of this species!

    Thank you, Steve. Oh, I think you are doing a great job with yours!

    Thanks a lot

    Beautiful Olya. Do you bring them into the house for everyone to see? I love Winter Wonderland and of course, Peggy. Great growing!

    Thank you, Jane
    No, I live them in the yard/shadehouse...I do cat rescue and TNR, and have kitten fosters and my cats all over the place - they will eat and play with anything ..
    It is a shame to always leave the orchids in the shadehouse, as some of them are so fragrant. My husband insisted on two chairs in the shadehouse - I thought, waste of orchid space! But it is actually nice to sit down and stare at the plants there...
    One day I will have a nice screened in patio, with no kitties allowed - then I will have orchids on the table...

    Always enjoy your beautiful plants, they cheer me up. My husband is in hospice now so can use a little of that. Thank-you for sharing with all of us. Tricia

    So many beauties! Thx for posting your great pictures.

    Tricia, having recently gone thru hospice with my Mom, I know that little things that bring cheer are so important. I hope you have 'kid blooms of your own to cheer you.
