Broughtonia sanguinea 'Karin', AM/AOS
We posted about this orchid on July 13th 2014 and this clone received the Award of Merit from the American Orchid Society (AM/AOS). When this orchid was awarded, it had 27 beautifully form white flowers. This time around we noticed at least 55 flowers! This specimen is doing well and hopefully next year, we can take it for judging again. Arne is hoping there will be more flower stems too. Wish us luck!

Previously, Arne kept this specimen at work in his lab space. But we managed to make some space for this 'giant' orchid. We are happy that it is doing very well.

A healthy plant growing extremely well on a simple piece of cork. This endemic orchid of Jamaica is living the good life up here in Baltimore, Maryland. I hope you all enjoyed the photos for this post. Until next weekend, have a good and peaceful week.
