Last night’s orchid meeting got cheeky when “naked men orchids” came up! 🤣 Guest speaker Margery Mayor took us on a virtual tour of Europe’s orchid paradise, sharing beautiful—and eyebrow-raising—photos from her adventure.

I got seedlings from this remake of Guarthron Fantasy. It’s a cross between Caularthron bicornutumn x Guarianthe Guatemalensis ‘2 Tone 1’. I’m hoping for darker reddish lips.
