2012 March Flowers.

Bit of a strange month a lot of rain and the temperature dropping a bit, but no losses and more flowers along with the ones still flowering make good viewing

Some of the plants are getting quite large and they look so good just growing the way they want to, so far nobody is overbearing.

Still have a lot of plants to flower for the first time, but get a lot of joy when any of them flower.

Flowering them in situe is just as frustrating as growing them in pots as they will flower when they are ready,( which is the day after the show), but that is the joy of growing orchids.

All the plants grow in Cool to Intermediate conditions.
