In order of appearance, the Orchids are:
1. Bulbophyllum Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry, one of the easiest, but most surprising of its kind I own, learn more on how to care for it here https://youtu.be/TJWc3ZLWkgo
2. Paphiopedillum Vipanii, a great cross with a pure white pouch! Here are some basic practical care tips https://youtu.be/rJ78qLKd_zQ
3. Aliceara Diana Dunn ‘Gothic’, a reliable bloomer for the past years.
4. Aliceara Peggy Ruth Carpenter, a newer addition that was on my wish list for a lot of time!
5. Brassophranthe Sun Mei Gold, a wonderful Cattleya intergeneric from Corina https://youtu.be/K1oPqh3Fa1A
6. Rhynchostylis Coelestis ‘Blue’, the surprise of the month, an almost blue orchid! https://youtu.be/oh6PFa9nv0U
7. Euanthe sanderiana, just as majestic as the coelestis! https://youtu.be/_vTuO-ZCrEc
8. Oncidium Sharry Baby, the famous chocolate fragrance orchid!
9. Phalaenopsis violacea, with its cinnamon fragrance.
10. Phalaenopsis bellina, a fruttier scent, but just as yummy!
