Check out this nice fat pseudobulb coming in on my variegated Maxillaria tenuifolia!! I snagged this baby on huge clearance because it was reverting, but it still had one variegated lead so I decided it was worth $10. It’s continued to put out variegated pseudobulbs and I’m very pleased!

Tbh I would have been perfectly happy with a nice regular tenuifolia as well. I’d love for this to bloom for me. They smell incredible.

Maxillaria tenuifolia

[theneverfadinglands]

My epidendrum decided to make sweet love to itself and produced 3 keikis. I'm proud, it's my first epidendum. Below the blooms when I bought it. I think it's epidendrum crystal valley "red star".

Here my Brassia Shelob Tolkien (it's real name, nothing I came up with) who I call Ungoliant is growing 9 new pseudobulbs.

Mini phalaenopsis rebloom for the first time on my mother's birthday. Maxillaria tenuifolia is in the frame new to her - my newest plant. I have her for around two weeks. So far it's doing well and very very thirsty.

Traditionally here is Ninquelótë (dendrobium nobile) who is in bloom continuously since April and isn't white like when I bought it. Now it's yellow with purple tips. I expect the blooms to drop soon, since it started to develop two new canes already.

I repotted half of my collection in net pots - they look better than clear ones with holes in them. Their biggest issue is the time it take to dry up. I have to water a lot, but it's also good thing, because I'm not going to overwater them and cause root rot. It's very hot summer, I'm curious how the pots will behave in winter. This year I repotted all my orchids in coco chips-bark-charcoal mix. They grow so well in coco chips and I'm curious about the charcoal, which is new medium for me.

DISCLAIMER: Do not spray water on indoor orchids. Do not spray water on outdoor orchids unless it's very hot and the water will evaporate quickly. Water sitting in crowns and new growths cause spread of infection and rot.

Orchid bloom is starting! Be prepared for lots of Orchid flower photos!

Starting with this one:

Maxillaria variabilis

I love how interesting looking she grows.

Bulbs on sticks with one little yellow flower per bulb.

And the orchids not in bloom! My actual specimens on the left, examples of the blooms on the right.

Trisetella hoeijeri - the blooms on these guys are SO COOL

Haraella odorata

Cirrhopetalum thaiorum, one of the larger orchids I purchased today

Angraecum distichum

Cirrhopetalum tigridum, the largest orchid I bought today except for maybe the Maxillaria variabilis!

I still want at least one Restrepia, I desperately want Phymatidium tillandsoides, and I have fallen profoundly in love with Ionopsis utricularioides, but I have most of what I wanted!

Relationship status: single and on track to die alone surrounded by my five cats and 100+ houseplants

Favourite colour: Purple, but also my real favorite is holographic/iridescent sparkly anything, because I’m 31 going on 3.

Favourite food: sushi to eat out, ice cream at home, but I really like most things

Song stuck in my head: every morning I get in the shower before I go to work, and every morning by the end of my shower, I have Zero by the Smashing Pumpkins stuck in my head: 

Emptiness is loneliness And loneliness is cleanliness And cleanliness is godliness And God is empty just like me

So anyway my mental health and attitude towards my job are great, why do you ask? 🥴

Last thing I Googled: The number of a spam call to make sure it wasn’t someone I needed to call back, but before that, “Maxillaria tenuifolia”

Current time: 9:48 AM, I’m gonna be late for work.

Dream trip: Too many. Costa Rica, for now, but I’d also really like to visit Istanbul when I have more money, and Japan, and hit up all the parts of Europe I haven’t been to, and--
