One reason people grow hybrids...

is that they often bloom multiple times per year.  Here my Lc. Canhamiana (which is really now C. Canhamiana), which I first posted in mid January, blooming again (though only two flowers).

Sedirea japonica

Buds have started opening - no fragrance yet.

Cattleya mossiae semi-alba 'Blanca' x 'Aurora'

The first three flowers opened yesterday on this C. mossiae.
It will get better as they age a bit.

Cattleya mossiae semi-alba 'H & R'

This is C. mossiae 'H & R', a mericlone, which was the second of the three plants in the earlier post.  Right after the first flower opened I cut the spike off the plant and plopped it into a glass of water (it hurt me more than it hurt the plant), as the plant was clearly being very stressed by the flower.  It only has one large growth, and that growth was severely shriveled.  I probably should not have let the plant produce  these flowers, but I think it will recover quickly.

Deformed Oncidium splendidum

My O. splendidum has bloomed for the first time.  The flowers are very poor.  Here is one with two lips.  Often a first blooming will be poor.  Perhaps conditions were poor as well.  I predict next year will be much better.

Lycaste deppei backbulb

I was repotting my Lycaste deppei when this backbulb fell off.  There is a new growth starting and a flower spike (I'm pretty sure) but no new roots.  Richard, you're the expert.  If you're interested in trading for this, send me an email.  Otherwise, I'll give it a go and sell it later.

Maxillaria picta

This is the plant I traded for a few weeks ago.  I really like this species.  Hopefully I'll do better with this one - I lost my first one, but I think I'm much better at growing these plants than I was when that occurred.  My only other Maxillaria is M. tenuifolia, another nice species.  This genus could be addictive.
