Nothing special but they are mine.

Nice show also in my opinion. You are always going to have a mark or two on a few flowers, but you do not have to worry about judges comments at home, only your opinion as to whether it is grown and flowered well or not I say.

It is always nice to bring in some flowers to brighten up the house especially if you can get them to last a good length of time.

Here in Aus , I grow a lot of Aussie native orchids and the scent fills the house in the morning, especially if the orchids get some early morning sun near a window or two.

I bet in your part of the world the display inside can make up for the dreary weather outside at times.

Cheers

Ok, I'll keep that in mind. Will be more aggressive about pest control and see what happens.

Thank you.

Terry,

I notice there are some spots on the lower sepals of Sleeping Nymph 'Glacier'. What causes that? My orchids (not only Cyms) have that too, sometimes.

Albert at the time I took the picture of that plant it had been in flower for 7 weeks including as a cut stem for 2 weeks. The flowers were starting to decay and I think the marks were the result of old insect bites that were gradually killing off the tissue cells. I have not noticed that they get attacked more than others but the marks showed up more on this plant.

earlier in the thread, if I'm not mistaken, I thought Andy said that they were probably caused by thrips.
