Stanhopea blooms this week

These stanhopea's flowering this week, right in the middle of our "heath wave". At the moment we are experiencing very high temperatures, very hot and humid conditions, yet my stanhopea orchids showing off their perfect blooms in it's entire splendor. Watering them very early in the morning before the temperatures start rising is my main concern at the moment. All of my plants in good growing condition with nice lives and large plump bulbs and can withstand weather flactuations without any problems. Many more flowering spikes developing everywhere and I anticipate great flowering season.

Stanhopea Spindleriana

Stanhopea Spindleriana

My stanhopea Spindleriana flowering at the moment. This one is one of the rare and unusual varieties and rather hard to find. Its opened its flowers this morning and this year it’s developed 3 flower spikes with 6 flowers on each spike. The flowers are beautiful pale cream with burgundy color spots and the scent is heavenly marshmallow/vanilla scent. Stanhopea Spindleriana is registered hybrid between Stanhopea Oculata and Stanhopea Tigrina and one of the beautiful majestic orchids from the Stanhopea range.
