H. 'Evergold' is an old favorite of mine and cheery enough to brighten up the dullest day, imo.

The lighter plant was a early bloom in rather cool dry conditions, the darker one on a different scape after plenty of rain, and hot conditions.

I found it interesting how the change in rainfall , and warmth altered the appearance of the bloom.

I almost dug this one up because of poor earlier bloom, and it's poor performance the year before. The colors in pictures are true by the way.

Border Sentry reminds me of one of mine....I think Big Kiss, or Big Smile.....Well, it's Big something.......

Big Smile, in the Tudra of Wisconsin

Peg do you remember how tall yours got, they are only supposed to get 24" tall, but mine was at least 10" taller than that.

I do believe that mine is a tissue cultured plant also, I got it from a local hosta seller.

Chance Encounter, This is a great plant

Chicago Cattaleya, older but pretty

Daring Deception, great performance for me, very fertile

Daring Delemma, I like Daring Deception better, but it is
a good performer

High Roller new last year

Ode To Faith new last year

Hi Ed.......I could be wrong, but I don't think Peg has Big Smile.....She was here at my house when she took that picture with HER camera.....

.....Heck if I remember how tall it got.....Your Chance Encounter is pretty.....it that the true color of pink? Pretty

Char, I like that orange Bertie Ferris.....

Thanks you guys for the picture's.....

OK, On Big Smile, I got confused as to who had it, but thats normal for me anyway.

The color for Chance Encounter is right, I usualy see more gold & ruffling on the edge. I moved it last year weather was drier, and temps cooler than normal, that may be why.

Chance Encounter and Country Melody are among the nicest I grow. Even with some of the newer and nicer I don't think I would ever not grow them.
