ORCHIDS IN MY WINDOW

Ah now this is end of March like the other video I just uploaded.

Now this was a weird one whereby I have a mirror image on both sides made up of one Dendbrobium kingianum type, one Dendrobium nobile type and one Zygopetalum. Every year the two Dendrobium types flower around January February and all at the same time on each side.

Yet you can see clearly in the video that this year the left side flowered first while the right side flowered much later and one even failed altogether?!

I then realise that we had precious little sunlight and we had a couple of afternoons of sunlight and no mornings. This window is south facing and so an afternoon sund would hit the left side whereas a morning sun woulf hiut the right side.

This kind of threw me somewhat as they all get watered the same and fed the same so I was like 'wft?!' Lol!

My cream Dendrobium kingianum (labelled as such when I purchased it is in full flower here but I expected more flowers than this. Despite the fact there must be a hundred! Lol!

When I pan left to the Dendrobium Berry Oda (as labelled but obviously a hybrid kingianum) has but a few flowers left.

Oh and you can se that I have moved the Angry Wasp Orchid from upstairs in my bedroom to here?

My Cymbidiums have all ben placed in the garden now!

COLMANARA WILDCAT ORCHID

Or as I like to call it The ANgry Wasp!

This is a video of the first spike in flower out of the three and I did this video like a week ago or more and I apologise for the delay. In fact there maybe a couple of videos I forgot to link in to this blog!

Also I have more stored on the camera I have filmed and I also have a coupld to do tomorrow too!

So we are getting back into the swing, more than several of my Orchids are in bud,, I am out now on my bike, out today and bloody buggered right now, and I may well be ordering some Orchids this year?!

I am also intending to build my own Orchid Cases too and will happen over the next month!

Also there is something else that seems to have popped up and I was asked a rather strange question on a form to do with my corruption blog, asaintcalledallnights.blogspot.com. If indeed there is a benefical end result to the question then these blog and all my others will be acquiring a great deal of content over a period of about a year from when the end goal is reached. If it is reached?!

Oddly enough I do not think anything will come of it and if so I will explain what it is on my other blog if it fails. If I do tell and via a failure I am sure many will agree that it was not only a stupid question to ask of me but a very cruel question to ask!

It kind of took me by surprise but I really cannot say what it is, partly out of superstition and partly because I do not want the fact that I have mentioned it to actually work against me?! LMAO!

This Orchid, I cannot remember but will guess from the colour and shape, is produced from Miltonia because of the colour and Odontoglossum I guess because of the shape. There might be a third in their but I cannot recall if there is. Oh might be Oncidium now that I am thinking about it?
