A few orchids that have

A few orchids that have bloomed for me this winter & spring (perhaps in response to my telepathic abuse):

	Phal. Tapei Gold “Goldstar” x Phal. Brother Victory. A nice reliable plant. No fuss, no muss, and gorgeous blooms. It kept growing while the rest of my phals raised many objections to a summer outdoors. See if I let them outside ever again!
	Phalaenopsis Sonoma. I bought it in bloom last fall, and it just won`t quit. Scared of me, I bet.
	Zygoneria Adelaide Meadows. Smells heavenly, and a good sport. I dragged this one all the way home on an airplane from Vancouver in sub-zero February weather, then moved it to semi-hydro. The blooms stuck around for a month, unlike Hanne Popow
	Phrag. Hanne Popow. I bought this one in bud, and it gave me two pretty pink blooms. Then the darned thing called it a day. Probably needs some time to adjust after I moved it out of bark to semi-hydro. It`s putting out new growth from the base right now.
	Phrag. Don Wimber. Two nice branches, but having some trouble with colour break on the blooms. Some are perfect, some are twisted like an old man with a sore tooth. It`s in bark and sitting in a bit of water, but I`ll move it to semi-hydro as soon as it finishes blooming. This little fellow is a bit disconcerting at first — the flowers pop off when they`re still pristine, just before the next bud opens. Maybe this one should be called Hanne Pop-off.
