Although most of our orchids have settled in for a long winter's nap in preparation for spring blooming, a few have braved the cold to put out some extraordinary flowers.
Our Paph. Somers Isles x Paph. Hsinying Majakun (under inspection by our cat Huey), recently acquired on a trip to Woodstream Orchids in Calvert County, MD
A similar paph with a gorgeous ruby/plum color, the Paph. Redhawk x Paph. Hsinying Magic 'Voodoo' was also acquired on our trip.
Another new addition to the flock, this Charlesworthii X Spotglen recently bloomed.
One of my favorites, we acquired this Dendrobium Victoria-Reginae about a year ago. A perpetual bloomer, the first inflorescences were small with a magenta-purple hue; this round is much larger and robust (long live Super Thrive), with indigo, almost blue blooms. You'll notice an interesting inconsistency-- while two of the inflorescences are the standard color, the blooms in the lower left are almost "albino" with purple tips.
