Gorgeous orchids! I love their orchid room. I love any orchid room. If I had lots of money, I'd have an orchid room.
My brug has been in bloom this past week. Makes the porch smell heavenly at night and in the morning. Here are some pics.

And a few more...

How many brugs do you have?
Wish I had an all season room so I could have more indoor plants
nice jen and karen!
Thanks, Bill.
Jen, I only have 2 brugs. That is just the blooms on one. I have another one that's just getting ready to bloom, but it doesn't have a large amount of blooms. I just recently found out I'm not feeding and watering them enough. They need to watered twice a day in hot weather, and fed 2-3 times a week. I also need to get them in bigger pots. They will go down in the cellar for forced winter dormancy after they're done blooming, as they take up a lot of space. I'll cut them back a bit before putting the away. Then, in about April, I will be bringing them into the porch. I'll repot them and they'll go outside as soon as the danger of frost is past. Maybe next year I'll get more blooms out of them.

They do smell wonderful!
Yes. I imagine heaven smells as good.

i took these shots a day or so before sandy hit - and cut a bunch for my wife and mil to use inside.
hit the send to soon :)
they are a little banged up right now - might get another week or so from them before they need to be dug up.
I'm moving....the frost killed mine on the 12th....not fair! They are so pretty!
the frost got all my dwarf one's - these are large ones in front of the house up top.
Wow....my temp went down to 26-27....everything was gone!
Gor geous!!!!!
Beautiful Bill! I dug mine early this year had to get it done before the back problems struck again. Might be too early but I'll take my chances.
Those are lovely Bill!
WOW Bill that last pix with hot pinks and flame orange.Hoop de doo.
thanks all
Joann that is, pink a burning bush, and orange/red is jm vitifolium
My Thanksgiving cactus is now a Halloween cactus. ^_^
JM Bloodgood lost very little leaves in Sandy, my others are bare.
very nice color on the bg
Thanks Bill, coming from you that's a HUGE compliment!! ^_^
I have 2 cacti blooming....cheerful this time of year....Bloodgood does have great color!
Love the blooms, all of them. Maybe later i can think about BG, but the brug and dahlias are calling loudest to me to try.
My pampered hardy Ackerman camellias are showing some blooms on the fall varieties. First is Ashton's Ballet which I chose for its tolerance of temps to 26 degrees below zero. It is still in the most sheltered location I have.
This one is Winter's Joy, which is an odd name if it blooms in November!
Beautiful! I envy you!
Lovely Rosemary!
Very nice, wish we had smell-a-vision. :)
Was that for mine? Thank you. While they are young I am covering them up every night with a large plastic pot and then uncover them in order to see from my window. Once blooms are spent, I will wrap with polypropylene cloth that only one local nursery sold (Russell's in Wayland). They're supposed to be established in a year or two more. Maybe they'll follow their proper bloom schedule by then too.
My 1 little patch of fall crocus
yea!
Perky looking....
