the orchidaceae

that crazy oncidium is blooming again --- last time was in april/may and before that in december/january so it looks like it might get a flush of blossomry going quarterly

the jon memorial cattleya has been in bloom since july 1--- last time for it was january/february, so i guess it's on a biannual cycle ---

the other cattleya, which last opened in late april, has started setting another bud, which ought to bust open maybe around labor day --- it bloomed in december/january, too, so it too might be a quarterly bloomer --- couldn't set a calendar  by them, but who cares?  wheeeee!!!
