The color on this lil’ guy is brilliant. A #sunsetvalleyorchids hybrid that would fit well on a windowsill. #svo6569 #americanorchidsociety #grownnotflown #orchidaddict #cattleya
Reliable bloomer every year like clockwork 🕰- love these long stemmed #cattleya hybrids. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #orchidaddict #grownnotflown
#apples of my eye. Each one is a different variety but at this stage that’s not too evident, except for the last one which is a clear favorite. #brokenchimneyfarm #homeorchard #sizingup #starkbros
This #fig was awesome! We have seen a huge increase in birds and amphibians since we took over the property, that’s a win in our book, the downside being that #birds looove figs, grapes, berries etc.. we keep our figs in the glass greenhouse we built for seed starting which @carolasager now grumbles has been co-opted as a fig forest (they are outside when not fruiting). They like the heat in there and it’s the best shot we have of not losing out to our avian and canine fig loving friends. #brokenchimneyfarm #amphibians #homeorchard
We call this “Portrait of a Plum” the image is an open edition but the plums are limited to about 20. Each year the numbers creep up a bit - just aiming for that year where abundance outweighs critter appetites. #plum #santarosaplum #homeorchard #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #starkbrosnursery
First bloom on this plant - hailing from #madagascar and weird just like every other critter as plant from that island. Pretty easy grower - and now moves on to the “rewarding” list since it decided to flower. The larger plants from this genus can be huge, most are white/green demonstrating that they are pollinated by night flyers (the white reflects moonlight best) many are fragrant in the evenings. Get one. #angraecum #orchids #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #orchidaddict
Pretty good match to our barn red greenhouse! This is from #rforchids - very bright blooms and a vigorous plant. Living outside for the summer. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #orchidaddict #vanda #paraphalaenopsis #ascocenda
The pictures don’t do this first bloomer justice. An #epidendrum from #calorchid - Doublex in height since we got it - now stands about 3’ tall - Cal Orchid is in Santa Barbara and specializes in this kind of breeding. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #orchidaddict #grownnotflown #artshades
Little comparison shot of this #laeliapurpurata the day it opened (2nd pic) vs. a couple days later after fully expanding - proof that patience when putting up photos should be utilized more frequently. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #cattleya #orchidaddict #grownnotflown
The grapes be bloomin’ !! #brokenchimneyfarm #homeorchard #homevineyard #grape #grownnotflown #allnatural
#blueberries !!! We are looking forward to these home grown if inferior berries - inferior because nothing is as good as a #maine #blueberry but until we can get some maine berry #sod planted these big honkin suckers will do just fine. #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #allnatural #homeorchard
Happy little #dendrobium growing in the rafters. The flowers have a crystalline glow and great color combo. This is a primary hybrid between two Asian species. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #grownnotflown
One of my all time favorites - great combo of flower size, spike length and exoticness. #cattleya #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #schomburgkia #myrmecophila
Just a wee bit ready for a repotting. This Aussie den from #sunsetvalleyorchids established beautifully and should send out a nice flush of spikes in a few months. But first we need to give it some room to spread them roots. #brokenchimneyfarm #rootporn #americanorchidsociety #orchidaddict #dendrobium #dendrobiumspeciosum
#apples !! And #quince - it’s a waiting game and a watching game and a chasing deer away game but eventually we will have enough productivity that we won’t mind sharing (as much) with the wildlife. #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #homeorchard #organic #futurepie
For some reason this guy always reminds me of a clown. Super easy grower, spikes should be much longer once it gets fully established on the mount. #oncidiums are a truly under appreciated orchid family. #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #orchidaddict #americanorchidsociety #oncidiodajimboswarm
This monster! #Laelia purpurata variety sanguinea - color is awesome! Form is a bit thin but these photos were taken right after opening so that might improve. Four more buds on a second spike yet to open, such a great show stopping plant. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #grownnotflown #laeliapurpurata #cattleya #getstemmed
This #gongora took a year off flowering but made up for it this season with two nice long spikes! Something about this pendant bloomers that make them more tropical and exotic. Pretty easy grower, likes lots of humidity and water. #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #góngorahistrionica #getstemmed #americanorchidsociety #orchidaddict
Great looking first bloomer from #motesorchids - the color is more vibrant than the photo shows and the spike is pretty good size in relation to the plant size - expect great things from this plant in the future. #brokenchimneyfarm #americanorchidsociety #vanda #purple #firstbloom #getstemmed
Still a few bouquets of beautiful #peonies available on the UWS at 66th Street. Hurry before they are all gone, they have pink and coral peony bunches but they won’t last long. #brokenchimneyfarm #grownnotflown #allnatural #nyc #uws
