Phalaenopsiis Seed Pod

After cross-pollenating with another Phalaenopsis, the stem started swelling up and the small cavity that was in the flower closed-up. I wonder how long before it is ready? Kinda cool… from an orchid grower POV that is.

New Purple Phalaenopsis

I bought this new plant today at a chinese grocery store in my neighborhood. One of the leaf is sunburned but the flowers look really nice. Many of the roots are rotted or dead, so I had to cut them off. I'm always worried that the roots I cut off are important. There were some healthy roots but not many of them to at least support the flowers. Paid $15 but not sure if I should've bought it.

New Plants from eBay

Cattleya Blc. Hawaiian Passion

Phalaenopsis Spotted Deer 'KH6707' - I'm worried that this plant may not look like this.

Pot. Haw Yuan Gold 'YK#2'

This was a buy 3 get 1 free deal. Dendrobium - D Nill Mongkorn

My bay window… again.

Took this photo slightly over-exposed to get more detail in the plants. I also moved the smaller cattleya seedlings towards the front.

Repotted my Tolumnia

Repotted my Tolumnia in a "take-out" soup container. I think it's perfect. Not sure how in the long run will the Tolumnia will take to it; I am trying not to use it as semi-hydro but I am trying to keep the humidity inside fairly high to match the sphag-moss it was originally planted in. Will keep updating its progress.

Poor dead little pink Phalaenopsis

Tragic. I guess the roots rotted. I'm sad.

Bedroom Orchids

I really like the soft colors on these guys.

afternoon. I've ordered a light meter online, gonna try taking metering of the windows around my home through out the day.

Odom's Sweetheart (Blc Toshie Aoki x Slc Wendy's Valentine) 'Red Beauty' 2

Lots of algae on the medium but I read its not bad. Using Physan 20 in my orchid spray should keep the algae in control. I hope the new growth means new roots; the shriveled back leaves means rotted roots.
The other plant seems to have three new growths but no new roots yet.

Yellow Oncidium "Dancing Ladies"

This is a cutting and it's growing like a weed. I learned that crinkled leaves is a sign of not enough watering. So now I try to keep the medium moist.

Dendrobium Thyrsiflorum

I noticed nubs on the stalks. I hope they turn into flowers but with me recently repotting the plant it, may not?
