Winter Wonders?

My peppers have come down with aphids. I was going to spray them this past weekend while we had the freak warm weather, but time got away from me and I wasn't able to. Need to take them down into the basement and at least blast them off with water.

The one Phrag that has been in spike is still in spike! I don't know what it is or isn't doing! I do have two other plants in spike.


Neofinetia falcata 'Shutennou' 'Red Emperor' possibly in bud!

Rhctm. Fuchs Stardust X Rhctm. Lilac Bloom x Rhy. colestis Pink in bud!!!


Ping laueana is also in flower for the second time. Ping 'Aphrodite' are all in bloom and blooming their heads off. Not much promise though for the spring orchid show... :\

Orchid Meeting Flea Market

I brought seven Pinguicula morananesis that were in bloom or in bud and sold them all for $5 each. I also brought a nobile Dendrobium and sold it for $1 as well as some dragonfly clips for $1 also. I brought two books too, but no one wanted them. :\ They're more coffee table type books though, nothing informative, just pretty pictures to look at.

I did pretty well. I only managed to buy one orchid only! A Paph. Delrosi! Had no idea what it would look like, but I love Paphs and at $10 it was the right price! I googled it on my phone and to my surprise it's a really pretty flower! I am definitely excited :D If you don't know what it is, do a search for it. If it were my picture I'd put it up on here, but I don't want to be stealing anyone's images!

Pinguicula 'Aphrodite'

From Other Plants


This is one of my new butterworts in bloom. One of its parents is Pinguicula morananesis, hence the large pink flower. It's not quite as magenta as its parent flower, but rounder. Pretty eh?
