Gorgeous La Hougette. Restrepias are lovely species, easy to care and rewarding!!

 

[NYEric]

Yes, most of them. I've killed a couple of the species that grow cool.

I grow cimbulla, mohrii, striata, mendozae, trichoglossa and gutullata in Athens.

 

[NYEric]

Nice. None of those are really cool growers. What ever happened to the tolumnias?

The Genting Volcano is spiking, the others are just growing!

OK, they will bloom eventually.

Photos from one of my other obsessions, model trains.
this is our (N-scale ) layout at The Model Railroad Club, inc., in Union, NJ. I do scenery there. remember the railroad frieight cars are 4" - 7" long.

Woah! Nice stuff you got there. I know nothing about model trains, except that I like them.

 

[Lmpgs]

Interesting!

 

[NYEric]

I'll try to post a few with an object for size reference.

 

[eaborne]

Wow, I have always liked trains!

Bet this is what it looks like coming to land at Teterboro!

My faithful Trigonidium 'Blue Eyes' in bloom again.

Some Xmas presents from the Far East -Ponerorchis and Spiranthes. Thanks :ninja:

Phrag Seymour Tower opening. I didn't realize how few photos there are of this cross. At first I thought it was a mislabled Hanne Popow flavum, but the shape of the lateral sepals may me think it is true.

 

[Parryaw]

Trogonidium! So that's what it is, I have just gotten a blooming division and I didn't know what it is till I saw your post!

 

[orchidsimplicit]

What a great collection! What happens if you move?

 

[NYEric]

What, you don't know how to pack plants?

Thanks. I went to college in Poughkeepsie so I've long had an interest on the old railway high bridge there.

They made it into a walkway recently.
