A nice selection of new seedlings for Thanksgiving always makes me thankful. The little green/white Brassavola hybrid down at the bottom with some promising buds above are waiting to open. They put on an impressive display for such compact plants in 4" pots. The orange/red seedling cattleya dominating the picture is a Blc. Waikiki Gold X Slc. George Hausermann hybrid.
We've gotten a little over an inch of rain since Tuesday midnight and the NWS advised of a "Tornado Warning" with an approaching cell with 100 mph winds spinning nicely and approaching San Diego. Wish we could just have the water without the spout component.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!
It's Thanksgiving week and we've been watching these spikes on a new batch of Cym Red Beauty seedlings pushing up some very nice spikes (first time bloomers). I cannot pretend to be able to tell anything about the eventual flower size, shape, color (maybe dark?) but the spikes are strong and straight and bud counts okay.

Euterpe edulis is a very graceful and delicate solitary (single trunk) palm giving an airy lightness to the landscape. It has very distinctive "blue" seeds that will stain your hands when you pick them.
