Was a cold horrible one last night, but looks like the insulation is doing its job again it's definitely with the money on good insulation for all year growing. Don't skimp on insulation for greenhouses #greenhouse #orchids #orchidaceae #garden #nature

Cymbidium Prince Louis looking very regal in the house this year. One of my more favourite hybrids as it retails a more specie looking flower than the very large round flowers. It was divided and re-potted this January and needs to be re-potted again. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse

Bulbophyllum Elizabeth Anne 'Buckelberry' AM/RHS I have had this plant for maybe 16yrs it been sent to many people and never flowered for me. I have no idea what I did as the plant use to be double this size. 29 spikes and will all open, at different times shame not all at the same time.

Oncidium cheirophorum really beautiful miniature species to grow both of these, are in 3cm pots just shows you dont need a lot of space to grow orchids. Highly scented as well what not to love. #orchids #orchidaceae #greenhouse #species #garden #gardening #plants #flowers

Maxillaria schunkeana first blooming plant. Unfortunately the flowers a little moth eaten, but thats what happens when your flowers are so well hidden. A gorgeous species, great for windowsill growing not taking up much space. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden

Paphiopedilum King Arthur 'Burgoyne' this a very old cultivar of the hybrid dating back ro around 1915, if I remember correctly. I personally still think this cross holds up, still a vigorous easy hybrid to grow. #orchids #orchidaceae #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening #growing

Dahlia bed has been lifted this year I left them last year, only becuase every time I was off work it rained and the grown was to wet. Lots a large tubers this time. They'll get a layer of bubble so they dont get wet under the greenhouse benching. #garden #gardening #jobs #winter #weekend #autumn

Oncidium tigrinum first bloomer for me, I have had this plant on my wish list for years. I'm thrilled to have it in my collection last summer. Can't wait to see the plant get more mature and bloom even better. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden #gardening #plants

Cymbidium LeoDagran in bloom, seems the hot weather has helped the Cymbid's in to spiking, especially after they've all been re-potted over the summer. Gorgeous dark purple with contrasting white lip. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening #plants

Cymbidium gammieanum an early bloomer and very reliable bloomer and very easy grower as well. A species in it's a own right but a natural hybrid between Cym ellagans x erythraeum. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #hybrid #garden #gardening #plants

Bulbophyllum grandiflorum I really adore this species, with it large tan spotted flowers alien shape. This has been a very fuss free plant just sits with the other Bulbo's, and gets on with it. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden #gardening #plants #blooms

Dracual bella I bought this as a seedling from burnhams last autumn. It kept spike through the summer. I chopped the spikes so I could repot it and let it really bloom. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden #gardening #plants

Oncidium flexuosum 'Burnham' im calling this one Burnham as that's where it came from. Yet I have another two of this species a pure yellow form and a smaller form in plant and flower. This was bought in spike. So I did not bloom it. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species

Gomesa crispa, this is the first time I've ever been able to see this plant bloom. I've had it a long time, but either slugs have eaten them or moulded out. Been chopped up as well. Lots a lovely spikes on it. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden #gardening #plants

Oncidium noezlianum 'Geyserland' this is a first blooming division I got last year. The the pictures don't do the the intensity, of flowers any justice. It really is a stunning flower. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #garden #gardening #plants

When you do the watering and bring all the hangers down and you realise actually, how many plant you have. Not only bring them all down but know there light than when you going to have to put them back up again. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #species #hybrid #garden #gardening

Stenoglottis fimbriata back in bloom still a very young plant, second blooming for me can't wait for it to chunk up and have multiple growths. #orchids #orchidaceae #greenhouse #species #garden #nature #plants #flowers

Chris @rockerblonde.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Stenoglottis Venus this really needs a good repot, but it never seems to go dormant. Looking great at the mo, will have to repot once it's bloomed. #orchids #orchidaceae #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #plants #garden #gardening #plants #orchidsofinstagram #nofilter #orchidmad #plantmaddness #plantmad

Trichopilia fragans in bloom a lot later than last year but filling the greenhouse with its sweet fragrance. Seems a very easy grower but takes a long time to root out. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening #plants #orchidsofinstagram #nofilter #orchidmad

Oncidium Gay Starshooter, this is such a great hybrid. This is the second time this year's bloomed and arguably the best blooming I've had from this plant so far. Will pot this into a basket in spring so the spikes can hand down. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden

Oncidium Hilda Plumtree 'Purple Wings' BM/13 WOC is always lovely to see this in bloom. Beautiful bright flowers for a dull autumn day. Very easy grower, and it's just gets on with life #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening #plants

Wilsonara Fortissimo is a very easygoing plant with lovely dark flowers. I have yet to bloom it how it should be bloomed. As slugs and snails set it back for a few years, but it's back on the right track. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening #plants

Oncidium Star of Jersey, this hybrid git split this year, and every division is blooming. It's a very reliable bloomer and seems to be a very easy plant. Just sit there grows and blooms no matter what the temps are. #orchids #orchidaceae #flowers #greenhouse #nature #hybrid #garden #gardening
