Both of these plants are small although I’m sure if given a chance they can cover quite a bit of ground. Both also reliably bloom for me. Usually after I’ve been away strangely enough.
In flower: Ornithidium sophronitis & Coelogyne fimbriata
Coelogyne
New additions
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about something new, mainly because I haven’t really been getting new orchids or if I have they’ve not been in bloom and also I’ve been just busy keeping on top of taking care of them all 😂
My sister was visiting me and I took her to the botanic gardens. With only a hint of hidden agenda of seeing what orchids they might have currently in bloom on display. They’ve had quite a few lovely orchids, though my sister wasn’t much impressed with them.
They’ve had quite a few Coelogynes in bloom. I’m kind of wishing now that I’d taken note of the species name.
That’s another Coelogyne
A lovely Cattleya or similar.
A delicate looking Phragmipedium
Dendrochilum longifolium. I took note of that one as it needs to go on my wish list 😉
And an amazing Brassia!
But guess what, they have a gift shop there, and I “accidentally” stumbled upon some orchids. The Cattleya from which all of this started had been purchased at that same gift shop and so it was difficult to leave empty handed.
Blooming: Coelogyne fimbriata
Not a massive show of flowers, I think I might not be treating it as it needs.
It’s in the south facing window in the bathroom, so it’s getting high light and decent humidity. Advice anyone?
