Orchids in the garden

End of summer doesn't mean the end of orchid blooms in George's garden. Many are just beginning..

It's Bay Area autumn, warm weather in the afternoon with rich glowing light. And a bonanza of orchids blooming in George's garden. Many of the cymbidiums have flower spikes, but the first photo is of a yellow one has them all beat. It opened about 3 weeks ago and is still going strong.

The next photo, a Tracyanum, is also a cymbidium. I love the designerly lines.

And I just noticed the last, a gorgeous red treasure. When I described it to him over the phone, brilliant George reeled off the name: Odontioda Charlesworthii 'Mishima'.
