Nice pics. Pity few names are included. I know most of these, but some not. Kannas and chenille plants are my favs.

buad hai · 26-06-2007, 06:21 AM

^I was hoping that someone with more knowledge than I would pop in with some identifications.

I think EG knows most of the orchid types....

Marmite the Dog · 26-06-2007, 10:04 AM

Where is George, anyway?

buad hai · 26-06-2007, 10:08 AM

^George who?

Marmite the Dog · 26-06-2007, 10:10 AM

Curious George

The_Dude · 12-07-2007, 11:47 AM

BH,
Here are some of the missus orchids.

I tried to load some more pics but for some reason they don't wanna go in. Maybe later. Enjoy!

The_Dude · 12-07-2007, 01:02 PM

Some more pics.

dirtydog · 12-07-2007, 05:10 PM

It looks like she owns a commercial nursery

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 12:16 AM

/\ A little one for locals and to send to the nearest town. She also grows Jasmine and Marigolds for Buddist holidays etc., along with other kinds of flowers. But now she is in the States, so now they are being taken care by Mom and Dad.

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 12:38 AM

And some more pics of the other flowers.

Jet Gorgon · 13-07-2007, 05:37 AM

Pls make the pics bigger, Dude. Ask DD. Kill the thumbnail or something. I would love to see them bigger. 55

The_Dude · 13-07-2007, 06:34 AM

/\ Done!

I'm here, just quietly enjoying the flower pics!

I will comment, if I may.

It appears to be a cross between genus' Brassavola, Laelia and Cattleya, producing the Brassolaeliocattleya hybrid.

Your photo looks very much like Blc Lucky Strike 'Golden Ring', which is the cross: Blc Mem Crispin Rosales x Lc Bonanza.

There are so many different crosses, including with the Blc Lucky Strike, without an ID tag on the individual plant, it is nearly impossible to give a positive ID.

Curious George · 14-07-2007, 07:56 AM

I now feel guilty for only enjoying other's efforts, and not contributing. So, I had better make a contribution also.

Just to stay within the same Genus, here are a few Thai Dendrobiums:

Dendrobium parishii (Dendrobium papuatu x Dendrobium mohlianum). Blooms lasted 2 weeks.

Dendrobium burana green Bloomed 2 months ago, and blooms still on the plant.

Dendrobium gatton 'sunray' (Dendrobium luteum x Dendrobium illustre). Blooms lasted barely 5 days.

buad hai · 14-07-2007, 07:59 AM

Great photos and great to see you posting again CG. With my old eyes I can't see the kind of detail you got in your photos without a combination of reading glasses and a magnifying glass....

Care to go back over this thread and correct any of the ID's we made (or didn't make)?

Thanks for the confidence shown, but I'm only human. I am not shy to say something, if I differ in opinion. I need to agree with Jet Gorgon though, that it would be nice to give an ID if known. Any guess at least breeds discussion, and we all may learn from it.

Jet Gorgon · 14-07-2007, 10:49 PM

Thanks for enlarging the photos, Dude! Great snaps.
CGeorge, I love that sunray orchid. What a unique shape. Do you have any fragrant orchids? I remember editing a report some years back about a company (Thai I think) that was trying to create a scented orchid. They also crossed several types of cattleya, too. I must say I was never good at mothering orchids, except in one outdoor bathroom I had. Gave them all a drink when I had a shower five times a day.
I do love canna. I had one plant with the dreamiest butter orange flower.

Curious George · 15-07-2007, 07:46 AM

^ The Dendrobium parishii is supposed to be very fragrant, but I can only notice a slight odor. Then again, my old nose may not be very sensitive any more. A few of our orchids have a slight odor, but none that I would say outstanding.

When I visit our local orchid grower, specializing in Florida Native Orchids, I find some of his are very fragrant with odors of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, etc. Some of his orchids I would categorize as being extremely fragrant. I don't have any like that.
