March 8.2004 Aerangis fastuosa this little Orchid belongs to the group of the pretty Christmas presents mentioned here. I have been watering it twice a day with rain water and given it a little Peters 10-50-10 once in a while. Light conditions were the same as for Masdevallias and Pleurothallis.

Scaphosepalum gibberosum This plant flowered through all of last Winter, but I never got a decent picture of the weird flowers. The strange creature below actually appeared on last year's spike and measures about one and a half inches. And more creatures are in the works....

See below the close ups, taken with my Nikon 5700: I wouldn't call it beautiful, it looks more like something got eaten by what? Yikes!!!!

And sideways - it doesn't improve

And for the final frontal view, the camera shows more details than I could see with the naked eye.

Just a small flower section of one of my favorite faithful repeat bloomers - Lc Fire Dance 'Patricia' It is opening 11 clusters this year and looks beautiful. ( I broke an additional one, boohoo)
