A RELATIVE POEM: BEAUTY IN ORCHIDS

BEAUTY IN ORCHIDS

Plants so young in evolution
In a world or imbeciles causing pollution
To a tree or branch there fix themselves
Watch all below the wonders and hells
A dance with moths and birds alike
The process of sex by day or by night
Aliens come not for beauty or money
Burn all others these few become honey
Then natures best beauty not good enough
A world oh hybrids looking quite rough
A lesson learned again reminds me
Never stray for from nature and its BOTANY

DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE OLD PHOTOS

Some odd pictures of one of my two species Orchids that are blue.

This should start producing flower buds in about 4 weeks time?!

Fingers crossed I will get several flowers. First flower I got one and the second time I got TWO.

LMAO.

ZYGOPETALUM OLD PICTURE

Here is an old bad quality picture of one of my two Zygopetalums in flower from three years ago.

A great deal bigger now than they were then and right now I have a few NEW growths appearing so a few weeks I might get three of four spikes on these?!

Do NOT mist these too much and leave the leaves dry for several days. When you do mist which I do once or when warmer twice a week I only do so very finely and lightly.

Water on the leaves it will not like one bit and the leaves will rot.

When I first got these two four years ago I lost all the leaves on one and all but two on the other, got fed up threw them outside behind my maples and under some Lelandii and next thing I knew they got all their leaves back?!

Done great ever since, LMAO.

DENDROBIUM NOBILE OLD PICTURES

Here are some bad quality pictures taken with an old smart phone a couple of years back of my Dendrobium nobile.

PHALAENOPSIS YELLOW BLOTCHED PURPLE

No idea if I still have this one but I am hoping so and I have never seen another one but wish I had since then and this was three years ago.

THE EDGED PHALAENOPSIS

Stunning and no idea if I still have this one, lol.

MY EARLY DAYS WITH ORCHIDS

Still have the big reedy Cymbidium, six of the Phalaenopsis and a few others, the rest either were stolen or died because of a selfish twat who need to see professional help.

He lives in Thailand now, lol.

TIGER OR CLOWN ORCHID ROSSIOGLOSSUM

You will note that there are a great many Orchids in these photos you have not seen photos of.

This is because they were stolen by a complete twat! One with a mental problem too and all because I tried to get into some kind of work and earn some cash, lmao!

RED COLMANARA ORCHID

Some old crappy pictures of my Orchids from a few years back when i started collecting them...

APOLOGIES it was a good phone but a RUBBISH camera, lol.

THE SPOTTED CREAM PHALAENOPSIS

MY VELVET PHALAENOPSIS

Well a little late posting them, r should I say getting BACK into POSTING lol, but here are the flowers of my very Velvet looking Phalaenopsis hybrid.

This is under flash conditions and in all honesty has washed out the colours somewhat while showing the velvet like texture.

The lighter markings look a little more yellow than they do in the pictures.
