Some Red Blooms

[Happypaphy7]

First one is my fourth seedling of Neofinetia pink hybrid to come into bloom in the compot sharing three of its siblings.
Two years (plus three months) in this same pot since they were deflasked.
Very fragrant at night.

Second.
Rhynchostylis gigantea 'Maui Spot' has made two spikes with higher flower count this time!
I got it off eBay two years ago. It was a surprise when it spiked last year as I thought it was still too young to bloom.
Very fragrant during the midday. Sweet citrusy plus some nasty base note.
Such an exotic beauty to have around in the dead of winter.

Last.
Tolumnia [(Jairak Rainbow x Jairak Panther) x Jairak Flying]
This was purchased in bloom with only three flowers one year ago.
There is a second spike developing, and given the size of it, it would barely carry one or two buds.
I guess flower count is not its strong suit. haha
The color was nearly white with some minute amount of red specks.
I'm surprised to see this intense red!

Pretty, all of them.

That Neofinetia is awesome.

Very nice. I'm surprised that you can grow them in an apartment.

These are among the easiest!

I think you can grow any commonly cultivated orchids at home without much difficulty.
Things that need high humidity and cool
Temperature at all times like Dracula, D. cuthbertsonii, Odontoglosum...different story. lol

Somehow, Rhynchostylis gigantean is not as stinky this time.
I'm really enjoying the sweet scent.
