Jan. 17, 2016 [update]: The Epicattleya René Marqués is in full bloom just in time for the Grand Valley Orchid Society show. We put it in the Greater Lansing Orchid Society display and we got a blue ribbon!

Here are a picture of the flowers after we got them back from the show.

Oct. 25, 2015 [update]: The buds that came with the Epi. Annelie Wans plant are open now.

Oct. 3, 2015: Today is Taylor Orchids’ fall sale and we got some great plants!

Paph. Vanguard’s Lebeau (Paph. rothschildianum x Paph. Vanguard)

(picture from Internet) Our multifloral Paph collection is starting to grow with this beautiful plant!

Paph. Saint Swithin ‘Taylor Grand’ HCC/AOS

(picture from Internet) We got a division of Ron’s own awarded Saint Swithin (from 2001). So geeked!

Paph. Memoria Rex VanDelden (Paph. armeniacum x Paph. Lady Isabel ‘Ivory Queen’ HCC/AOS)

(picture from Internet) We still don’t have a Paph. Lady Isabel yet but we’ll take a beautiful hybrid anytime.

Dtps. Coral Gleam

We were surprised this plant wasn’t picked up during the sale. Our gain!

Simple and pretty

Lc. Puppy Love ‘True Beauty’ HCC/AOS

(picture from Internet) Larry was drawn to this plant primarily because of the name. It’s a bonus to see how pretty this plant’s flowers could be!

Epi. Annelie Wans

While walking through the benches, this plant caught my eye. When we checked online what the flowers of this plant would look like we got so excited to see it’s THIS Epidendrum we took a picture of last time we were at Taylor Orchids!

Epicattleya René Marqués

(picture from Internet) The sheer size of this plant struck our interest. Checking the flowers online, we were hooked! We always wanted one of those Epidendrum pseudepidendrum and this is very close to that!
