My Phalaenopsis hybrid

It was the only one of the ones I entered in the SOS orchid show which won an individual award. It was placed second and won a red ribbon. I'm as pleased as Punch.

Update: Upon checking the official printed results later, not only did my Phalaenopsis hybrid win an individual award, all the other three orchids I entered in the 2010 Susquehanna Orchid Society (SOS) 27th Annual Show also won individual awards. The Psychopsis Memoria Bill Carter and the Aliceara Pacific Nova also placed second. The Odontobrassia FANGtastic Bob Henley came in third in its category.  Hurray!

2010 Susquehanna Orchid Society (SOS) 27th Annual Show

I entered four of my orchids in the SOS show. Can you guess which ones ... in the photo below?

Okay, below are the four.  A ribbon for any of them?  I shall let you know when I find out.

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos', continuing saga

Bud here has now become a bloom...

...and it will soon open up to look like this again.

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' update

After almost a month later, the lone flower (see here) fell off but, as expected, a new bud has developed --

Away from the windowsill...

...trying to keep my small collection of currently blooming Phalaenopsis from the scorching summer sun.

Colmanara Wildcat 'TOW'

The buds are finally bursting into blooms.  This orchid is one of the better known intergeneric orchids created from more than one genus.

Brassidium Fangtastic 'Kalapana'

A potential 'True Blood' fan favorite?

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos'

One of my favorite orchids.  A flower spike can reach up to two to three feet.  The flowers come out one at a time.  Interestingly, it may not be unusual for the same flower spike to produce flowers continuously for a dozen or more years!
