I have but One orchid About to bloom. You Guys are so lucky;) What i have is Blc.Campobello 'Mendenhall' HCC/AOS
this is the first time i will ever see it too!!! OHH the anticipation is killer!!! ha

Samuel

Samuel, they are nicely fragrant, too. I understand your anticipation completely, woooohoooooo!

Those are some impressive lists. Very exciting! I see a lot of angraecoids are blooming. Hopefully everyone will post pictures soon.
good growing!
Cheers
Rodrigo

CJ always wins these threads. @ CJ, the Cleisostoma saggittiforme that i HAND PICKED off the wall at OakHill is nearly dead. Overwatering certainly. *cries*

I second what Rodrigo said, lots of Angs blooming or soon will be. That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Three cheers for Angs!!! Hooray!

(oh i forgot Haerella odorata on my list...i won't call it by the correct name cuz i'm stubborn)
-MB

"CJ always wins these threads."

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing! ;~)

"That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside."

I thought that the Mnt.Dew did that for you! ;~)

Some very nice lists, indeed, enough to make me gnash my teeth with jealousy. (And envy... Cal Orchids forgot the Ang-half of my pre-order, which means I've got to give Paramount a call for my fix.)

Anyways, my list:

Blooming
- Dendrochilum uncatum
- Dendrochilum wenzelii
- Phal. Earth Star
- Phal. NOIDs X 7
- Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope
- Psychopsis Mariposa (5 spikes, all blooming!)
- Oncidium ornythorhynchum (a real suprise there)
- Encyclia cochleata
- Clowesia russellianum (I know that's not how it's spelled, but it's something like that)
- Lockhartia NOID

In bud/spiking
- Paphinia herrerae
- Paphinia neudeckeri
- Masdevallia erinacea
- Neofinetia falcata (standard)
- Miltassia Charles M. Finch
- Tuberolabium kotoense
- Blc. Wanda's Fire
- Catt. NOID
- Catt. maxima
- Oncidium splendidum (about time - 5 years without flowers)

I'm away from home now, so you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to going home!

Julie

CJW, how the heck do you keep track with so many blooming..
I guess you made 'spike rounds'
Scott, that was funny!

In the southern hemisphere it's the Dend season and this year I'm looking forward to a bumper "crop" of nobile hybrids.Most are about a week away. Cymbidiums also are in full flow, though it's a problematic plant for me on account of our warm temps. I also have flowering

Cochleanthes speciosa
Laelia cinnabarina
Laelia flava x alaorii
Dendrobium Red River ( a cocktail of Australian species)
Vanda Pakchong Blue ( that blooms almost continuously, my most highly recommended orchid)
Maxellaria picta
Comparettia speciosum x coccinea
Laelia milleri x Soph coccinea
Cattleya intermedia (several diff forms, about 6 plants in all, one of the easiest Catts)
Epidendrum campestre
Epidendum Joseph Li ( also almost continual blooming)
Epidendrum secundum var alba ( also blooms over a long period)

CJ's list always makes me drool! :>)

Marci

{{gwi:191238}}Lots of plants in bloom and in spike, but the one I am excited about is this piece of grape wood that has 8 Masd hybrids mounted on it. Right now 4 are in bloom and 3 are in bud. I have it in a Christmas tree stand and it will be a challenge to transport, but I think that I will have 7 in bloom for the next orchid society meeting.

Laelia Anceps spikes all over the place, but it will be quite awhile before they bloom. The young mounted Stanhopea embreei is spiking again.

I like these postings, gives me a chance to see what should be blooming in my collection or what I can add to it for blooms now. I have the smallest number of plants blooming in Aug., many nobile den. in my collection.

I'm suprised that Brasavola nudosa is booming now, I have a huge plant, 40"+ across plant that blooms profusely in once a year Dec/Jan. Is this a second bloom for yours or just a different cycle? All of my Brassias except Edvah Loo have bloomed this summer , when should it bloom? I have a large plant that has never bloomed. It is now outside in a flower or fry sun spot.

In bloom:

DEN. BRACTEOSUM (white) two flower clusters, 11, 13 flowers

MTSSA KALEAPAA 5 spikes,1flower open, 4.8" tall (big!)

BL. RICHARD MEULLER 2 spikes, 5 flowers, 1st bloom for me
