This is Brassavola Crazyarachno (perrinii x appendiculata) crossed back to perrinii. It's night-fragrant as one would expect given its parentage. I picked it up at the Huntington at their fall #orchid show a couple of years ago. It grows outdoors year-round in coastal San Diego.

Prosrhyncholeya Muscat Smile has enormous nodding flowers. #orchids #bloomscrolling #houseplants #bloomsky Huge growths, needs a lot of space. Flowers are slightly fragrant, citrusy, for a short time in the AM. Not my fav, but impressive and impossible to ignore when in bloom.
Giant green flower with a paler creamy green tubular lip. Prosrhyncholeya Muscat Smile has two enormous flowers, though only one is prominently displayed in this photo, the other is in the camera.

#orchids #bloomscrolling #houseplants #bloomsky Cymbidium Prapuy Luang 'Pakkret' is blooming with a number of spikes. It is 75% ensifolium so flowers are small but quite fragrant! The column and lip are surprisingly colorful, very bright and cheery. Easy to grow, heat tolerant, small growing.
A flower Spike of Cymbidium Prapuy Luang has several blooms open featuring muted straw colored background and contrasting bright pink column and yellow spotted lip.

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is an orchid species that grows on trees in nature. The forma (f.) chattaladae stands out for its solid deep red to mahogany colored flowers, distinct from the typical yellow-green barred flowers of the typical forma and the yellow flowers of f. flava.

@orchidfever.bsky.social The Den. Purple Splash is going all out with 5 developing spikes at a time! And 4 paphs are starting spikes. They’ll be close to blooming by the time I have to move. Easier to sell them I guess but I hate to miss them. #orchids
A Dendrobium plant with many leaves and stems, 3 of which have easily visible spikes with buds. 2 more less developed spikes are visible upon closer look.

Prosthechea cochleata is an orchid species that can grow on trees, leaf litter, decaying wood, and even rocks, and is one of the first I bought when I got back into orchids. It also holds a special memory; my grandmother had one growing in a coconut husk under a grapefruit tree in Puerto Rico.

#orchids #bloomscrolling #bloomsky #houseplants #Miltonia spectabilis var moreliana or M. moreliana depending on your taxonomic point of view. This is the first flower of maybe 10 spikes. Most spikes will only produce a single flower. Each flower is enormous and heavily, beautifully fragrant.
Starry orchid flower with large circular lip. Petals and sepals are deep royal purple, lip is a lighter pink-purple with several darker veins. Column is white and yellow, stark contrast to the rest of the flower. Spike and foliage in the background, sitting above a bed of gray gravel.

📢 NEW ISSUE ALERT 📢 🪰 Issue 14 is out now 🪰 📔 On the cover: A Drosophila bizonata fruit fly inside the flower of Gastrodia foetida, a fully mycoheterotrophic orchid (Photo credit: Kenji Suetsugu). 🔗 Read the full issue: academic.oup.com/jxb... #PlantScience 🧪
The cover of Vol 77 | Issue 14 | 2026 of the Journal of Experimental Botany. Orange coloured banners border the top and bottom of the page and in the centre is an image of an orchid flower with a fly inside. Photo legend: A Drosophila bizonata fruit fly inside the flower of Gastrodia foetida, a fully mycoheterotrophic orchid. The interaction illustrates how some nectarless orchids exploit the ecology of drosophilid flies, linking pollination with decaying floral tissues that can serve as brood sites after pollination. (Photo credit: Kenji Suetsugu.) See Suetsugu et al., pp. 4679—4694.
