Such a glorious show of flowers, Ted. I'm so sad that I couldn't keep my Gerberara alive, it's a lovely flower and I really like the way it changes color as the blooms mature.
Lindsey the story on "I'm not Lulu" is it was a small start 5 years ago when what I call the "orchid orphanage" along the street from me was selling off everything. I bought at least 3 plants that had labels saying B. Little Lulu. They all bloomed with flowers the same as these it has now, and I think I may have mounted two of them to this current raft. When I finally got around to googling Little Lulu, it looks nothing like what I have so . . "I'm not Lulu" it became. I did get a bunch of other plants from that place that had good labels on them, though.
The "maybe Yellow Bird" came from a Master Gardener plant sale, crammed into a tiny metal basket with a tag that said "white flowers". The reason for the "maybe" is that this one blooms sometimes with spots in the lip like Yellow Bird, and sometimes without them.
All on the same cork mount, all at the same time, this summer.
