Eastern Iowa Orchid Show

I didn't go to the Eastern Iowa Orchid Show but my orchids did. I sent three plants and two received ribbons.

Sc. Crystelle Smith 'BK Orchids', 2nd place

Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Bluebird', 3rd place

Colm. Wildcat 'Carmela'

I got my Colm. Wildcat 'Carmela' last year at Windsong Orchids. It has two flowers open and the markings are different on each flower.

Freeze warning

It is raining today but it is supposed to drop down to 37 F overnight. I must decide if I should bring in my Phalaenopsis. I had left them outside to induce them to spike. I am also not sure how successful the spiking will be since it looks like an animal has chewed off at least one spike.

Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Bluebird'

I am going to try to post more pictures now that I have a new phone. This mericlone started blooming two days ago. It is fragrant.
