Spring Equinox Orchids
Lots of orchids have been blooming in our late winter garden, eager for today’s change of season. My favorite purple Zygo reliably boasts stunning flowers, shown in the first row of photos above. Their beauty is surpassed by their sweet fragrance, which is one of my favorites. The second row features a wonderful Coelogyne, which was a gift from a neighbor’s garden. The crystal white flowers have a rich orange lip. In the last Coelogyne photo, there’s a small spider hiding in the petals.
The last two rows of photos contrast two different Cymbidiums. The first row is a hybrid with Cymbidium tracyanum in its parentage, and the second row is Cymbidium tracyanum itself. It’s easy to see the patterns and colors shared between the two. They’re great sights to greet springtime.
