QUEEN VICTORIA & HIEROGLYPHIC ORCHIDS

Well the Dendrobium victoriae-reginae is currently putting on its best ever show and even with the nineteen flowers all currently open it might just get a little bit better?

This is because there are no less than ten buds on it that have not opened and half of these not far from opening.

There are a couple of new canes that have sprouted from it but no roots yet, or Keikis. Not sure if this species likes having its keikis (new canes with roots) removed. I have done this with Dendrobium nobile but not looked it up with Dendrobium victoriae-reginaee.

Even if you can I am not sure that I would ... not yet anyway but if it ends up producing another haf a dozen then I might.

I do like this orchid.

I also like my species Phalaenopsis though I have only flowered to of the five or six that I have thus far. The fact that the Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica is now flowering fills me with confidence that the violacea, zebrina and sumatrana will do this year or next year too!

My Schoenorchis is still spiking with two spikes this year. That will make a cool little video.

Maybe my Trichoglottis pusilla will spike soon also? I seem to recall it flowering a little after the others did when it first flowered?

MANY FLOWERED DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE

Not uploaded a lot in a while now.

Sorry ... lots and lots happening right now and all will become clear soon. Umm they currently are not clear to me right now! Lol!

Did this video several days ago and have been trying to upload it to YouTube ever since! In fact I am sure there are several other things I have filmed and photographed I need to upload?!

Anyhoo my Blue Bamboo Orchid, Dendrobium victoriae-reginae, has not only produced more than one clump of flowers it has now gonee mad and produced five or six clumps?!

So here is a video of it and I will try and get some pictures up ... umm if I took pictures?! I think I did? Trouble with one of my health conditions is one of the many things it does is screw around several times daily with short term memory! I will not go into the pain list nor the other 80 things it does, lol. Or my blood pressure going both way too high and way too low, or my Hiatus Hernia or Right Knee or my Oesophagitis! Hehe.

None of the above ... well OK one thing is causing me issues of late, the blood pressure going to both extremes and the cheap crap pills they keep putting me on and then taking me off again.

I am in the dark with my 'lots of things going on' which is exacerbating the blood pressure problem, lol.

But all will be good in the end ... and I now am at the end, thank God!

Now for a little video of a very nice Blue Orchid ...

THE RETURN OF THE ORCHIDS

Well it has been awhile and like with a dozen other of my blogs and for vareious reasons, one bing three months of a really crappy illness still under investigation, my blogs have been neglected...yet again.

I am afraid it is what happens when various public services are not a service and quite the opposite in being an hinderence and actually stop you from doing things and keeping active instead of actually helping in the ways they were created for in the first place.

Still does not matter, it is all part of the traps and the processess of my ever more popular blogs on corruption and will all come out in the wash. A lot sooner than many realise too.

Anyhoo there are a few things I have managed to do and...acquire that I have not been able to get around to upload either here are the varioous blogs which link up to the different things I cover, know or have learned to do.

Now one of these is here and at last another Orchid video and my Vanda coerulea, Dendrobium victoriae-reginae and my Bulbophyllum have finally all returned to flowering ways since being upset about some carbon monoxide!

The Dendrobium of those three came back into flowering with gusto and is still producing bulbs as I type!

Typical the Bulbophyllum was facing the wrong way!

The Vanda is not that far way from flowering so expect another video.

Also it is extremely late in the year for all three of these to flower so I am somewhat shocked at this! The Dendro was flowering twice a year pre CO wash. Even the second flowering was not this late in the year. Vanda only once a year so far but normally around June/July and the same for the Bulbophyllum I think if I remember correctly. Yet it is the 16th November as I type and the Vanda is still yet to flower, the Dendro still in flower and with a few more flower bulbs emerging and the Bulbophyllum just stopped flowering in the last 24 hours or so.

Here is the link to the video and expect another in a few weeks.
