The first plant is a new variety for me -- a paphiopedilum (according to the label, a paphiopedilum Hsinying Majukun '#4' hybridized with a paphiopedilum lawrenceanum 'Tradition'). 
Paphs generally will only have one bloom at a time and care is slightly different, so I've a little homework to do in order to take care of this one. Amazing, isn't it?
The second new plant is a phalaenopsis and its color is incredible. Of course, this image doesn't quite capture the depth of the purple/magenta, but you get the idea. 
So, now there are nine phalaenopsis on the sill -- six are blooming, one will be shortly, and two are just visiting until they're ready to bloom again.
And actually, it's probably a good idea to discontinue the membership. I'm running out of room.

Oooh, purty! I always find orchids anthropomorphic. As, I suppose, you do too—what a greenhouse of friends you have.
What's this "what's happening" thing at the bottom?
Beautiful photos! Running out of room, pshaw. I know you are all about the reno; just slap on a greenhouse.
Anthropomorphic, yes . . . but mostly just sexy.
Just experimenting with the page - trying to add a few more elements. My web design skills are about as developed as my photographic talents.
