Laelonia Dave's Dapper Dandee
Our Laelonia Dave's Dapper Dandee has seven flowers this year. The seventh bud is still waiting to open but I figured, it is so beautiful and I wanted my first post for 2016 to be this orchid.
|
This orchid is a primary hybrid between Broughtonia negrilensis x Laelia crawshayana. The name is registered to Joseph Francis, a well known orchid grower living in Herndon, Virginia. See previous posts, November 10th & December 15th, 2014.

| A) On November 8th, the weather was warm and we could captured a photo outdoors of the extending flower stem |
 |
| B) By November 29th, the flower stem kept elongating but a sure sign of buds were appearing. |
 |
| C) Developing buds on November 29th. |
 |
| D) December 20th. Seven buds are coming! |
 |
| E) Up close. |
 |
| F) January 2nd 2016. In full glory but still one more flower to open! The length of the stem is more than 60 cm (~2 feet). |
 |
| G) Beautiful blooms if I say so myself. |
 |
| H) Angle from below. The weather was cooperating. |
Well folks, this is the first post of 2016. I hope you like it! Happy New Year.
The year of the Monkey, my year!
