First NEW blooms for the year

WE have lots of orchids in the yard. Some bloom all through the year while others are very seasonal. The weird weather already pushed one of our plants to bloom 4 months before time and this afternoon while picking shadon beni I saw that the Oncidium was already in full bloom.... a whole 2 months early.

Not too sure which type it is actually ( considering there are over 330 species of oncidium). There are several plants on the mango tree and when they all flower, there are hundreds of flowers spiking between the mango leaves. If someone did not know the difference between them they would think those were the mango flowers.




Now to wait for the Dendrobium to bloom. You dont have to see them to know they are flowering, you can smell them !!!!
