I think the main flowering season on this orchid is winter as it’s got several spikes at this time. But it still will flower randomly. Dendrobium Jonathan’s Glory ‘Dark Joy’ #orchid #flower #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography 🌱🌴🪴sky

2nd flower is open now while the 1st flower has filled out to a span of 9 inches (~23 cm). The lateral petals are about 6 inches (~15 cm) long. Paphiopedilum rothschildianum #orchid #flower #nature #gardening #bloomscrolling #photography 🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid Clivia season is starting but this is the only one that’s flowering now. Oddly enough this is a repeat bloomer that flowers all year on and off and happens to be in flower now. #orchids #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography 🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid These heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica) are mostly grown for their attractive foliage but they also get bright red berries. #orchids #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography 🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid These are really tiny flowers less than 1 cm. I found 2 names from my search, Coleonema pulchellum & Diosma ericoides. They may be synonyms I think. #orchids #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography 🌱🌴🪴sky
