PrettyTiny Film Company -- random pix (Mar. 27)

Photodump comin' ...
My one pic of Howard and his flowers with the minis, turned into a whole long flower-show photoshoot with a bunch more orchids & dolls, when I saw how well they turned out with a black background.  (I'm sure the person who gave me that shawl-thing that totally isn't my style & I've never worn it anywhere, would be a bit bewildered at how I've ended up using it).  No such thing as an orchid show anywhere near where I live; boooo.... so the crew made their own.

Starting off with wee Lila, who doesn't quite match the dendrobium.




Robyn, with mini Oncidium Twinkle 'Red Fantasy', which came from a Calgary orchid show.  I had some fun (??) trying to pack that for travel in my suitcase.  It has a light but quite pervasive fragrance, very nice.











"Om...."  Communing with the flowers...


Next up, Catherine with an unnamed phalaenopsis, which unfortunately most of them are.











Peek-a-boo!


Isabelle's turn with the dendrobium:










Penny, with my very first orchid, Phalaenopsis Carmela's Pixie.  Got as a seedling before I quite knew what to do with one.  I waited 7 years for it to bloom.  Not only did it need time to grow up, it probably wasn't happy on the shelf in the bathroom. We moved; it got to live on a south windowsill, began blooming within 2 months, and has done so continuously since.




Rachel, with the most recent arrival, another anonymous phalaenopsis that had two big fabulous multi-branched spikes when I got it, and has struggled ever since with spotty leaves & possible crown rot.  I guess not all of them are happy with the climate either.  







Mariya Luiza with another of the phals:







Finally, we have wee Crystal Moana Kalikimaka Sugarplum, whose name is just as fancy as some of the orchid varieties, with another mini phal.














That's pretty well all that are blooming right now.  They sure brighten up the house in these gloomy months, but none of us are happy with the lack of sun.
Thanks for looking!
