A St Swithin summer

[Ozpaph]

My new orchid house is finally up and running. Its the first day of summer (off to the beach) and my multis are looking great - happy, happy, happy...

Here are a few shots for you to enjoy.

1. Group shot - SS 'Dick M' (opening), SS 'Virginia', Jolly Holiday, SS 'VG1' (and Hatsue Otsuka in the background).
2. Paph Jolly Holiday (which you helped me identify - 6 flowers/buds)
3. Paph St Swithin 'VG1' - first flowering seedling. Nice stance, colour and markings, though small.
4. same but close up.
5. Paph St Swithin 'Virginia' ACC/AOC (? cultural award N Zurcher)

Great display! The first SS is wonderful, but I prefer the second one because of its dark markings and stripes.
