ooo!. I hit "alert" and pow!
looking very exotic from up here, aromas/stinks?:smoking:where's the por-- I mean love, Hec'?
......... How did that girlie do with her new 'do?
I figure it's a wall-to-wall colas right about now!
Wowsers mate, that 'mater is going nuts now... how's the volunteer chili doing, BTW? .... Hec' that's a very nice space you made for your exotics! ..love the orchids of course, and the Alocasia's are always choice... Are those your Laelia's tucked in that log? I see lots of Dendrob's, a few Bulbophyllums? .... Noooiiiice! ...
-desert roses look superb mate, man are they loving it there with you,....
oooo, Devil's Backbone and the red bromie's are excellent! Those look like pineapple tops... Got a name on those?
Good timing Hec', I'm posting some seasonal bloomers here now... you've seen these before, except the Clowesia rosea... This is a deciduous Mexican species, dropping leaves in Fall, a brief dormancy, then flowers come, followed by new bulbs... the aroma is amazing mate, wish you could smell! Mainly sweet grapefruit, a bit of something like library paste, and a dash of cinnamon.... this year is better than the last couple but pales to the normal show,...

>>> this is new to posting here I think... Osmoglossum pulchellum,... these flowers are actually upside-down, not sure why considering how it's built, but whatever the pollinator is it works better this way! Super potent aroma, heavy floral nose smack, Lilly of the Valley, Narcissus, along those lines,...

Keep them orchid photos coming @Waira One day I will have the time to play with them more .Ok the end of Healing Path grow and I am very impressed with this strain . Even with the room packed the way it was . I would have liked to have taken the longer than 70 days , closer to 80 would have been good , Due to very heavy rain fall and power outages I was very concerned about humidity , as it was I lost a a 28 gram crown . all the top buds are the densest buds I have grown yet , Due to light restriction [ due to 2 bloody many ] I was more than happy with the yield . Of the smaller ones the best will go 3 ounces and smallest of them 2 ounces , The 3 biggest girl 4 ounces and 3 ounces . Resin production again right up there with the best . I now have them drying and will give them a 1 week cure before I have a smoke . Would I spend time growing them again , -- Hell Yer -- But the way I normally grow . These photos are of the best of the smaller plants
