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.

PHALAENOPSIS HYBRIDS AND LOOK AT LIGHTING

Couple of hybrid Phalaenopsis with a look at lighting in the second video.

MASDEVALLIA ORCHID

This Masdevallia has flowered for the second time in about three months now. The other produced one bud that then subsequently died, the bud that is, so do not know what colour it is.

DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE 3RD YEAR

Well its 2014 and this little beauty has flowered again for the third year running and for about the ... umm fifth or sixth time? LOL!

PODANGIS DACTYLOCERAS

Here is my Podangis dactyloceras in flower again, or what I affectionately call the Crushed Diamond Orchid...

TINY ORCHID SPECIES of PHALAENOPSIS PARISHII FLOWERING

Now then!

I think I forgot to post about this on here and sorry but much will ne happening on this site from now on and in abount a months time I should be ordering new Orchids too. However I am waiting for a mate to turn up as I want to give him a coupld of Orchids but he is on one of his notorious periods of absence. Lol.

Anyway here is a little surprise for both me and now for you. Now out of the many species of Phalaenopsis I acquired one that I thought would flower after a couple of others has now .. flowered!

Now you have to understand that this is firstly a Moth Orchid SPECIES and secondly that thyis is very tiny indeed. In fact if you have any hybrids you purchased from a supermarket then I can guarantee that the reduced size lip that your Orchid has is quite a bit bigger than the entire flower of this one!

These are just around 5 to maybe 7 mm across. No I am not kidding here and in one video I pan across to my Spotty Dog hybrid Orchid so you can check the size difference. I do in fact place a ten pence piece in the photos, if not one of these videos.

Now I am hoping that the other species of Phalaenopsis I have will each flower this year now that the warmer temperatures are here?! Hopefully because a spell of increased growth will no take place?

So as well as trying to order afew more species in about a months time there are my other species of Phalaenopsis of zebrina, hieroglyphica, violacea, sumatrana and bellina! So five more species to go and also my Dendrobium victoriae-reginae has buds right now and then there is the Vanda coerulea.

Also the Vanda denisoniana has also icreased it growth rate in the last few days too. SO maybe late in the summer we might be in for different show altogether?!
