Lovely ones. I especiallly like the James Bacon cross! I love the slipper orchids and am waiting patiently for them to open their buds. I was hoping it would be in time to take them for Show 'N Tell at my OS tomorrow evening; unfortunately they are being very slow to open the buds.

Yes, Yes, Yes but its ruffled too. Blooing Jungle has a photo of it except in real life the pink looks a bit darker than the photo. The blooms are 1 1/2" across!!! Very nice.

Stunning Jewel, Kristi! I can just imagine the scent! I love that brick colored center eye, too! It's top of my list for next season's purchases! Sharry Baby is on my list of orchids to get, as well... but I'm waiting on that until I have better conditions. The Lemons are all wonderful, no matter how you slice it! LOL! But seriously, they've always been prolific bloomers, good growers, and very decent seed producers... they have good shape, color, and substance. Some of my favorites! Of the 3 Red Lions I have, none are the exact same. They vary slightly in color and shape. One of mine was very red, another seemed more orangy than true red... I think there are a lot of slightly different Red Lions out there, and it just depends on the grower or supplier. Great photos, Kristi! Thanks for sharing!

Here's a pic of my August Moon - a mature plant with a 6" ruler on it. It is about a 7 year old plant, but I had to rescue it as one of my daughters (as in twin daughters) distressed plants so it had been set back badly. Here's my mature Gold Drop: very similar to AM but about half the size of August Moon. It gets very little sun so isn;t showing its color as well as my August Moon. Les
