Spring is over in this part of the world (Mexico) and the gifts I got for the season were to enjoy the flowering of 12 different types for 12 weeks!!. Terminó la primavera en esta parte del mundo (México) y los regalos de la temporada fueron disfrutar 12 diferentes tipos de inflorescencias durante 12 semanas.
Challenges were dry days above 32 C, ants and suckers. I replaced barks and fertilized. Los retos fueron días muy secos con temperaturas superiores a los 32°C.
Also tried back bulbs in zip lock bags with peat moss, all are death =( . Los bulbos de rescate en bolsas zip lock no lo lograron, todos murieron.
- Prostechea trulla. Delicate, bright petals. Flowers last for several weeks. La Prosthechea trulla es delicada, de hojas brillantes, las flores duran por semanas.
Encyclia adenocaula |
3. Encyclia radiata perfumes my home beautifully during nights, flowers are strong and last long. Delicioso perfume nocturno, flores robustas y de larga duración
4. Mitoniopsis require daily watering or flowers immediatly get weak. Flowers last few days. De mucha agua, flores de corta duración.
6. oncidium ornithorrhyncum. Small long lasting flowers that look like an insects. Pequeñas de larga duración,parecen bichos.
Dendrobium |
8. Prostechea cochleata. This is the national flower for Belize and is known as black orchid or little octopus. Flowers release a sweet nectar ants love!, Flor nacionalde Belice, conocida como orquídea negra o pulpitos, las flores liberan un néctar dulce que le gusta a las hormigas.
9. Laelia speciosa looks fragile but is a strong big flower, last year gave 2 flowers, this year only one.Parece frágil pero la laelia specisa es una flor muy fuerte y grande, el año anterior dio dos flores, en este año solo una.
10. Paphiopedillum Wiertzianum. Worth to wait!!!. Bottom required 2 months to open, when it did, this beauty and strange flower appeared. Careful with over watering Vale la pena la espera, 2 meses para que el botón abriera, una flor extraña y hermosa. Cuidad de sobre riego.
11. This encyclia linkeana might look insignificant. Big mistake!!!, look in detail, each of the many flowers are very delicate and fragile. Combines, yellow, brown, white, black and green.
12. Finally, the phalaenosis which constantly gives flowers enjoyed us with white, yellow and pink flowers.
Summer is here, rain started intensivelly and very warm days are gone. I might need to cover to protect from excesive rain. Drain works well. I don't think I will have as many flower as in spring but I have already a promising plant that I will show later.
