I grow orchids, love RPGs and try to be the best parent possible. he, il, lui, er, él
#orchids related, but not a flower. A post flower if you will. An orchid seed pod open with seeds visible. Orchid seed is dust like. So if someone is trying to sell you orchid seeds that are visible, it’s a scam.

A very small red masdevallia from the greenhouse. Don’t know the species, but a brilliant red.

I should know what this is because it’s very distinctive. I do know it’s a coelogyne.

An orange Masdevallia from the greenhouse. A lovely jewel among the green.

#bloomscrolling #orchids in the greenhouse, a large dracula. Not the best photo because it faces straight down and the light was above/behind it.

#bloomscrolling #orchids from the greenhouse. A bulbophyllum. Lovely.

#bloomscrolling #orchids From the greenhouse. It might be a boella, but I don’t know.

Another one from the greenhouse, a cattleya of some kind. I don’t know what many of these are because most of the plants in the greenhouse don’t have name tags.

But it’s gorgeous.

Orchids from the greenhouse. This one looks like an Encyclia cordigera hybrid. The fragrance is almost as good as cordigera.

At the greenhouse. A Bulbophllum orchid, I don’t know the extract species. No unpleasant scent.

Went to Gold Country Orchids and Paph Paradise open house on Saturday. Spent way too much money, and took a couple of photos.

Incredibly close. It’s been heartbreaking to see Bella (the cat) decline as she gets older.

Here’s two pictures of Bella.
