On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

Vanda (Neofinetia) falcata Ootakamaru Really pleased with the starburst presentation of the flowers. Neofinetia falcata tend to be most fragrant at dusk here, suddenly releasing a bolus of fragrance reminiscent of

#Paphiopedilum God’s Pearl (Deperle x godefroyae fma album). First bloom seedling with one flower and one bud over silver and green foliage. The flower has pale green tones right now but it will probably mellow to a pale butter yellow as it matures - the flower has only just opened. #orchids

Bc Spotted Clown (Brassavola nodosa x Cattleya Lulu) Each one is unique, but in general, spots, sometimes a pink lip, over a yellow-green background is common. As they are nodosa hybrids, they are most colorful when they first open. #cattleya #brassavolanodosa #orchids #bloomscrolling

This photo sucks because it was taken under the cheap LED lights this seedling has been living under for the past few years, and the exposure and color balance are all out of whack. But. This is your sign that it is possible to bloom #Cattleya schilleriana under artificial lights. #orchids

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

#Paphiopedilum (hangianum x New Red Moon) first bloom seedling. This plant has a soft scent of freshly washed polyester. Why I think it smells like polyester I can’t explain. Until today it didn’t even occur to me that polyester had a specific smell. 🤷‍♀️ #orchids #bloomscrolling

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Well it didn’t take as many days for this one to plump up. It’s a really large flower. Paphiopedilum Harold Koopowitz #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 🌱🌴🪴sky

Another #Dendrobium primulinum I was sure this one bloomed for the first time last year. I don’t recall it being quite this nice. It might be a keeper. #orchids #bloomscrolling

Coelogyne schilleriana This is a deciduous species. If you see one for sale in the early spring and I hasn’t got any leaves, don’t be freaked out. Flowers and new foliage will be along shortly. #coelogyne #coelogyneschilleriana #orchids #bloomscrolling

#Cattleya Summer Spot x Small World C. aclandiae is a grandparent on both sides. You can really see that in the form and heavy spotting on the flowers, and also the plants themselves - though you can’t really see those in this photo, with these amorphous masses of green here... #orchids

Platycerium SS Foong This one is semi-mature I suppose, old enough to produce spore, but not quite in its final form with super-abundant fingers on the fertile fronds. Plant is in an 8 inch basket and grown rather bright. #platycerium #ferns #plants #platyceriumssfoong #gardening

Paph haynaldianum first bloom seedling, just opening its first flower. This is a multifloral, but it stays nicely compact. This one is blooming size in just a three inch pot. Older ones can have higher flower count. #paphiopedilum #orchids #bloomscrolling #gardening #plants

These are maudiae type hybrid #paphiopedilum seedlings, recently germinated. Sometimes things like this have poor yield. Sometimes they go the opposite way. I won’t guess how many are in this plate. There were also two others like this. 👀 #orchids #plantbreeding #plants

Brassavola nodosa (‘Remar’ x ‘Gladys’) This strain is on the dwarf side of the nodosa range. It currently has …17? Open flowers and at least two more spikes with 2-3 buds each on the way. Intensely #fragrantflowers #Orchids #brassavola #cattleya #bloomscrolling

Cattleya wallisii (eldorado) ‘Mt Itoo’ As standard cattleyas go, these are pretty short. They also don’t need a cool winter to bloom. Bonus. #cattleya #orchid #bloomscrolling #orchidaceae #plants
