Trichoglottis philippinensis var. brachiata or Black orchid has reached its full bloom. It is a very beautiful dark purple/maroon color with a lavender/pink fuzzy lip. Thanks to TS Fay I lost 7 blooms from bud blast having to drag all the chids inside for a few days. Here are some pictures.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
