Black-hooded sun orchid (Thelymitra atronitida) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. This uncommon species tends to be very shy to flower - usually only see one or two flowers open briefly on warm/humid mornings. A nice patch of plants at this location but only one flower open. #orchids #inthefield

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

More temptation. Phalaenopsis hybrid (NoID) #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

Another rainy morning, which I like, and this is what the orchid shelf is looking like. I need to rearrange everything to fit in a big Sharry Baby that needs better/more light to bloom...but that seems like too big a project right now...

Today’s #orchid: Pleurothallis titan, grown by one of our HOS members.

More beautiful orchids from NW Sicily in April 2019 (those days before we'd ever heard of Covid). Ophrys bombyliflora, Ophrys tenthredinifera, Ophrys x fernandii, Orchis papilionacea. @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Phalaenopsis Sogo Gotris 'Peachy' #bloomscrolling #orchids #flowers #mothorchid #mini-phal #blooms

This is a new spike of flowers on this orchid. Phalaenopsis hybrid (NoID - maybe Fuller’s Black Leopard?) ‘Anne’s Resilience’ #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

Sorting out old photos, including these from Easter 2019 in Sicily (which was colder than the UK!). Orchis brancifortii, Orchis italica, Neotinea lactea, Serapias vomeracea all from the stupendously rich turf between Trapani and Zingaro, NW Sicily. @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."

Sun is out intermittently this morning... Phalaenopsis Lianher Cranberry #orchids #bloomscrolling #flowers #blooms #mini-phal #mothorchid

#Orchids are #flowers, too. Cattleya Ruth Bader Ginsberg 'Supreme Court'.

This orchid has multiple leads and is flowering from most of them. Cattleya trianae var. coerulea x sib #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

Today’s #orchid: An unusual Cymbidium, growing in a friend’s yard, near Kalapana. I’ve never seen a lip like this on a Cymbidium.

Today’s #orchid: Paphiopedilum Little Trouble (charlesworthii alba x barbigerum 'China Doll’) This is a small, mini Paph. Photo by one of our members.

Epidendrum glossaspis was found on the roadside leading up to Gualaceo 🇪🇨 . It is interesting this is non-resupinate meaning the flowers do not turn round 180 degrees during development leaving the lip in uppermost position! 🌿 #orchids #orquídeas #nature #conservation

A no-ID #Vanda blooming today in #MyGarden. 🌱 #Orchids #Plants #Flowers #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport

Pink sun orchids (Thelymitra carnea) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC. Quite a common species around Genoa in both heathland and open grassland - often combining with other blue-flowering sun orchids growing nearby to form interesting hybrids. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Thelymitra macrophylla - Scented Sun Orchid I haven't seen too many Scented Sun Orchids this year. In good years you can find them with numerous bluish purple, fragrant flowers. Endemic to the southwest of Western Australia #orchids #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist #nature

In Bloom: Cattleya C. G. Roebling 'Sentinel' (gaskelliana x purpurata). A very old hybrid created in 1895. Smells like baby powder. First time bloom. #orchids #cattleya

I am excited for the Cymbidium flowering season. This was another Costco plant on sale. Cymbidium hybrid (NoID) #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

Today’s #orchid: Blc. Hawaiian Passion. The rain has really messed with the flowers.

Today’s #orchid: Cattleya percivalliana, as seen on the 'show and tell’ table, at our recent November meeting.

Today’s #orchid: Epidendrum nocturum. First pic is from the silent auction at our November meeting. Second pic is from the web. What it will look like later, when it opens.

Today’s orchid was recently awarded at the Hilo Judging Center. Rby. [Rhynchobrassoleya] QF Na Ahi O Pele AD/AOS. Intriguing-looking orchid.

Phalaenopsis I-Hsin Dream Bubble 'Pink Dove' is blooming again. I love the colors, and the blooms last for weeks and fade to a pretty pastel pink. #orchids #bloomscrolling #flowers #blooms #mothorchid

Caularthron bicornutum #orchid #orchids #photography #nature #flower #bluesky #houseplants

#Orchids are #flowers, too. Aerangis luteo-alba. I am so delighted with this little orchid plant! It is finally opening up. This is a first for me. I've never had one of these before. What a cutie!

I am still unsure about the name of this orchid. Paphiopedilum Memoria Albert Eickhoff (P. stonei × P. kolopakingii) #orchid #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky
