About Me

My photo
I am just an orchid hobbyist, trying to grow and bloom these wonderful plants. Most of the orchids are in the greenhouse, and the rest are under the patio attached to the main house.

Lc. Canhamiana fm. coerulea 'Azure Skies'




This is one of the first "blues" in my collection to bloom.
It did bloom last year, but the flower quality was not that great and a few petals were even deformed.
So I am considering this as the first "official" blooming of this plant.

I'm still here :)

I have received several inquiries as to why I don't post new bloom pictures more frequently.
Well, I dont have a lot of plants to begin with. I probably have around 200 or so.
And most of them are cattleyas and dendrobiums that all bloom around the same time of year.
So I end up with posts with a lot of flowers at the same time, and then there are months when I have nothing to post.

I believe that it is more meaningful to post something of value than to post something just for the sake of posting something.

Thanks for your understanding,
John
