This is the first time that 3 of my awarded charliebums are blooming at the same time. The huge 10-cm FCC ‘Immaculate’ towers over the 8-cm AM ‘Green Tea’ (right) and the 7.5-cm AM ‘Green Delight’ (left). They have been bred and selfed with babies already in lab.

Rarely blooming in summer, the flowers are smaller and sulk (not a happy face lol from the side sticking tongue out of that staminode). But I’ll enjoy it despite its sullenness 😅. NS 8 cm DSW 5 cm A division from Hillsview.

I just got my first FCC today at judging! Now I know how Tyler felt! I’m on the moon still lol. Presenting ‘Her Majesty’, the charlesworthii album with 90 points! The 4th FCC to be given by the Toronto Judging Center (TJC) in over 30 years! I named this as a tribute to my treasured...

My 3rd to bloom this year. A division from Orchid Inn. Day 3 only so may expand over the week. Trying a new phone Samsung ZFold2.

Another charlesworthii album just came into bloom. I got this division from Hillsview Orchids couple years (or more) ago. A pretty vigorous grower and a well balanced flower. NS 7.5 cm, DS 5.3 cm Awarded in October 2010 with AM of 81 points.
