Went outside (in the rain) to pick milkweed for the piggies (Monarch caterpillars) and decided to check on the orchids. Oncda. Pacific Pagan ‘Kilauea’ just started its blooming. I got it as a raffle plant at one of the first meetings I attended. I think it looks even better a year later. Hopefully, that means I'm doing something right! I also took a couple more pictures of my newly acquired Lc. Llory Ann 'Paradise' (Lc. Memoria Robert Strait x Lc. Jungle Flare). I took a picture of the whole plant and then a picture of the blooms. It also has more buds and a sheath coming up on it! And it was half price! (Yay!!!)

As much fun as it is to buy blooming orchids, I have to say it's been a lot of fun watching them rebloom. Watching the whole process as it happens has been educational and fun - and it builds confidence in this amateur grower!
