Dendrobium Yellow Jacket 'Olimpia', Puerto Rico Orchid society 2017 show Grand Champion

A massive plant with hundreds of flowers.  An excellent example of the impressive size these plants can attain when cultivated by a knowledgeable grower and in the climatic conditions that suit it best.

Orchid from Ecuador, truly weird, I think is a Scaphosepalum

Pleurothallis from Ecuador

A terrestrial orchid, very difficult to ID, even the genus eludes me. From Ecuador

Phragmipedium species from Ecuador

This orchid was in a garden.  The gardener told me it had been moved there from the site of a road construction.  The plant was growing well.

Dracula sp. from Ecuador

Scaphosepalum sp. from Ecuador, may be a yellow form of swertifolium

A Maxillaria species from Ecuador

Dracula species, Ecuador, possibly Dracula lafleurii Luer & Dalström 1993

Maybe Acianthera cogniauxiana from Ecuador

This may be a Sigmatostalix, the flowers are tiny and appear sequentially on a branched inflorescence

An unidentified Pleurotallis species from Ecuador

I have not been able to identify it.

Lovely display of Cymbidium orchids in the lobby of the Alfonso XIII hotel in Seville, Spain.

Last week I was in Seville, Spain and visited the Alfonso XIII hotel.  In the lobby there was a lovely display of Cymbidium inflorescences.  The flowers were beautiful.  The hotel itself is well worth a look if you are in Seville. The building is a wonderful example of art deco along with Spanish and Moorish influences in the architecture.

Cymbidium Dorothy Stockstill "Forgotten Fruits"

Bloomed in February, the flowers lasted until the middle of March.  

I found some tiny orchid seedlings, maybe of Leochilus puertoricensis, "in situ" in a single thin branch

Today I took some photos of the flowers of Leochilus puertoricensis and uploaded them to the Internet.  I was asked to take photos of the whole plant.  I went to see the plants and moved around the tree to try to get a better angle for the photos.  Then I noticed tiny green slivers on one of the branches.  They turned out to be orchid seedling.  I have never seen so many orchid seedling or such tiny ones.  Most were only green blades.  A single one had a short root.  My suspicion is that they are seedling of Leochilus, since they are in the same tree with plants of this species.  However I have never seen so many Leochilus plants clumped together, usually they occur as solitary plants.  I suspect the reason there are so many of them there is that it is the dry season and slugs and snails, which love to snack on these things are not very active due to the low humidity.  I will watch these tiny plants to see how many of them survive and how long they take to reach maturity and bloom.
