Thanks everyone!

Some iPhone pics from the grow area. Two bellinas. Both first blooms ('B#3' on the left and a cross from Krull-Smith on the right). Tzu Chiang Tetralitz 'Little Heart' Hannover Passion

Spectacular!

Very nice. Looks like mariae to me! Tangerine scent is also a mariae-specific thing.

That is one amazing roth!

Good to hear that. I was leaning towards the Seikai already.

Lovely vans (neos). I'm now convinced I do need a Seikai.. or a Manjushage.. which would you pick first? I knew well enough what a love swing was.. Lol. You guys are great ; )

Very cool, and that foliage is to die for

Then I think you will have to get a Coelogyne foerstermannii - small for a Coelogyne and super fragrant too.

I think this is one of the coolest Coelogyne species out there. Flower is bigger than expected and what most descriptions fail to say is that it is fragrant (here's another for you, Eric) and smells like honey to me.

Ah ok, thanks. It's a teenager now.

Yay bellina : ) Is it a clone or a cross, if so what's the cross of?

Love the amabilis aurea. I think the forma, aurea, refers to its callus that are devoid of spots. Not all amabilis are fragrant but some are, for eg, a cultivar from Irian Jaya. Those have a very distinct but beautiful shape as well. If I had more space or a greenhouse I'd grow more amabilis...

All the temples and dzongs were great, but when we were stuck just before Dochula Pass for a few hours on the way back to Paro, the guides actually let me hike up to the pass on my own (not sure if they were supposed to do that..). Even though it was on the...

That last shot is amazing! Thanks for sharing your photos and experiences. I had a chance to visit Bhutan last year, but it was a short trip, so more similar to your first post. Definitely think I need to go back and do these hikes. Did you manage to see any blue poppies while trekking?

I'm guilty of this as well hehe. Nice collection! I like the Samera the best, I have one in bloom (previously unbloomed) right now but it has rather terrible form.

Nice! Looks like a nice show to go to. Does it happen in June every year?

Bizarrely beautiful
