Finally got around to uploading more orchid pictures here. Willie might like the Tuberolabium. It’s another one of those crystalline white miniature vandaceous species that smells like iris, only more intense. While I do have a few hybrids, my collection is mostly species. Some folks find them more challenging; I find them more interesting.

They take your money, but they don’t talk back! No news on the Nicky front, but I have plenty on my orchid blog. I have a good two or three pages worth of new entries, with pictures. It’s no skin off my back if you don’t give a shit about orchids, but I like them.
OT: Brassavola perrinii

New post over on The Orchid Place. It’s Brassavola perrinii, a nifty orchid that only pimps out its scent at night. It’s small, white, and something Willie might like. He seems to be my only reader who has a degree in botany. I think my Reine des Violettes OGR (circa 1840) is a Bourbon, but […]
Updated Orchid Pr0n

I finally updated my Orchids 2010 gallery. It’s three pages worth of reasonably decent thumbnails, any one of which can be clicked on, to see its full sized image. Most of you don’t give a flying batwing, because that’s not why you visit The Rusty Nail, but that’s okay. I don’t care.

I found another orchid blooming this morning when I went to water the ones I keep in a fish tank. Sneaky little bugger it is. Pictures here.

More orchid pictures here. It’s Cishweinfia pusilla, one of only four species in the genus native to Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador.
OT: Two Moar Orchid Pr0ns

Restrepiella ophiocephala, which I didn’t even know was in bud, since I had it stuck in the corner of a fish tank, and a NOID Phalaenopsis. My mom received the latter as a housewarming gift, and gave it to me when she was done with it.

Orchid pics of Blc. Dennis Kone, B. Little Stars, and Barkeria melanocaulon here. I also have C. Chocolate Drop and Mediocalcar decoratum in bud. For all the years I’ve owned a Mediocalcar, I’ve never gotten the darn thing to bloom. It’s only got two buds on a pretty big, sprawling plant (for a miniature, that […]
The Langoliers

No, not really. It’s Scaphosepalum anchoriferum, another one of my miniature species orchids. The bloom is about 1/2″ tall, on a plant that’s only about 8″ tall, including its pot. It’s the kind of freaky looking thing that Karen might like. Reminds me of a langolier, with a really long tongue instead of sawblade teeth. […]

Today’s orchid pictures are of one cattleya intergeneric hybrid (a Stellamizutaara), and three species. The flowers on the species only last two or three days, but flowers in general don’t seem to last as long in the dog days of summer as they do at other times of year. We have Stlma. Kelly ‘Lea’, Eurychone […]
