Well I've been away from this forum for a while..between work and trying to take hold of up on the garden chores, I've been going mad. I still accept non gotten effectually to photographing current orchids in bloom with the exception of my Schoenorchis fragrans...a tiny mini with a powerful fragrance.

I've sorted some of the orchids I saw in Spain...purchase non all! Here is a pic or Orchis longicornu

Todd, squeamish to accept you back from your trip. The in-situ Orchids are heart-stoppingly gorgeous, they must have been an amazing sight! Wow!!

Wonderful Todd!! I am insane also. We had an iris show today. Tons of work for all, but a success with lots of people coming to run into them. I put in lots of entries and got ii blueish ribbons for Sibtosa Tourist and celebrated IB Prosper Laugier. My arragements were a disaster though. Oh well!
Tonite I'm upset considering my hangapot wall of hoyas is as well sunny and the leaves are burning. I also need to wire more orchids onto the shelves-the wedging doesn't completely work. I'm tired and feeling overwhelmed. I have no life. I would like to walk in the woods and encounter the ladyslippers (nearby) but I don't accept fourth dimension. I desperately need to be in the woods alone. Vent, vent, vent.

Yous obviously moved mode ahead of me in regards to found advancements. My siberians are still only half dozen" tall..no blooms until at to the lowest degree early-mid July.
My Spain motion-picture show sorting came across this i...what a display! It's the purple form of Dactylorhiza sambucina.

and another showing the mountains in the background...too bad information technology was an overcast day.
boojum Shelburne Falls, MA(Zone 5a) Jun 02, 2008
These pics are wonderful, Todd. I'm wondering almost the climate-were they in many regions? Looks pretty greenish for Spain.
Todd_Boland St. John's, NL(Zone 5b) Jun 02, 2008
It has been the wettest spring on record for Spain...21 days of rain up to the day I arrived! Thankfully, information technology stopped while I was there. Most of the orchids were in the mountains where information technology would be wetter at whatsoever rate. The zone here should be at least 6.

Todd, what an experience to run across those beauties. Breathtaking.
Kathy, congrats on your ribbons. I once establish myself overly committed to gardening and orchids. Thought that would be an impossible situation to be in, but I began to feel like a slave to the whole affair. I had to back off a practiced scrap to make time for those walks in the woods. Feel gratuitous to vent if that increases your energy level though. Here's a walk in Maypop woods in April.

That's impressive Jim. Tin can't expect to run across more of information technology open. Dear the spiders besides.
Todd, I forgot to ask...I thought Catalonia was going through a tape drought and they were bringing h2o in to Barcelona on tankers. I saw this in the newspaper only weeks ago. People were sticking their heads under the public fountain spigots. Was there any mention of this when you were there? The Ebro is south, only non past that much, and I was wondering, when you mentioned going, if the drought was going to have an effect on your birding and orchid watching.

Todd, the flick of the Dactylorhiza sambucina with the mountains equally backdrop is droolworthy.
And Jim, I dearest the Gramatophyllum. Expert for yous to be able to accomodate an Orchid of this size/futurity size. It's a dazzler!
Kathy, that walk into the woods should have helped? If not - using perhaps your sauna might do the trick? Do something nice for yourself!
Todd_Boland St. John's, NL(Zone 5b) Jun 03, 2008
Yes Laurel, Barcelona is under a drought yet the area around Huesca in the pre-Pyrenees has been raining for a solid month.

I simply looked at the Grammatophylum spike picture over again and noticed the big 6 foot epi hanging in the groundwork. At present there is a couple of orchids for yous.

I feel...a lot better!! I think I was sleep deprived cause I'g waking upward cheerful again.
Believe information technology or non, I got really sorry on my walk considering they tore downwards the woodland home of the couple who donated the land to Audubon. They are both dead at present and they were so vital in their 80s when I knew them. No 1 wanted to maintain the house. All that'due south left is their chimney. The yellow lady slippers behind the firm were no where to exist seen in the wreckers tire tracks. Made me and so sad and philosophical, but the woods they left behind made me happy.
My deepest respect to Dutchy and Mary Barnard. (They did name a trail after them.)
RUK Fair Lawn, NJ(Zone 6b) Jun 03, 2008
ricfl - very pretty. Is #one Brassavola David Sander?
Kathy, the Cyps and view are beautiful!
I would hope that the Cyps flattened out by tire tracks, will come back next year.
boojum Shelburne Falls, MA(Zone 5a) Jun 03, 2008
Really??? I promise they will-that certainly thank you me upward! I will exist there to see. Information technology's my spring pilgrimage! Similar your woods.

Todd, welcome back. From the lovely pictures you have posted it looks like you had a rewarding trip.
ricfl, you have some very nice photos from botanical gardens. I especially like #2.
Kathy, your pictures from your trip to the bush are great, sounds like it was simply what the medico ordered.
This is Paphinia Majestic which is a first time bloomer. It is a tough ane to get a picture of, you almost have to lie on you lot dorsum and shoot upward.

Close upward of Paphinia Majestic to evidence the vicious jaws simply waiting to capture its prey.
RUK Fair Backyard, NJ(Zone 6b) Jun 04, 2008
Ken, expert growing, your Paphinia Royal is wonderful! How does the establish expect size-wise. Tin can you tell a bit about the medium it is planted in, amount of low-cal, watering?
I had years ago a overnice plant merely couldn't keep it going for more than about a year.
boojum Shelburne Falls, MA(Zone 5a) Jun 04, 2008
Ken, I'one thousand with Ursula. Tell us more. What a beauty.
And the Ponerorchis graminifolia is a delight!! Is it terrestrial and native to Japan?
