Nature Notes: Orchids

July 31, 2009

I feel like I’ve come full circle. These orchids are the ones I began Flamingo Fotos with, a year ago.

Kind of a wild and crazy vanda/ascoscenda


Intensely violet and white dendrobium



These are blooming about a month late, but bigger and better than ever. I don’t know why. The drought followed by the seemingly never-ending rain? Orchid afficionados are frequently horrified by my orchid “culture” of benign neglect, and between blooming times, I’ll admit that sometimes the foliage looks a little ratty. But they bloom – oh, baby! – do they bloom.
