C. Percivaliana "Summit" FCC/AOS. (fragrant) 2nd place
I got this one from B.C.O.S.'s auction last year. It is called "Christmas Cattleya." It is blooming for the first time under my care. I like its clean sharp color.
I don't remember where this one came from but it blooms every year. I like its velvet texture and beautiful color.(3rd place)
The above two Cattleyas bloomed in time for B.C.O.S.'s meeting show table. I will tell you if I get any place in the windowsill grower category later. The result came in 1/13/10's news letter. I got 2nd and 3rd place.
Lc Sylan Sprite "Blythe Spirit"( HCC/AOS) x Bc Pink Sensation"Cynosure" ( fragrant)
When this one starts to bloom, the color is dull on the first day and then becomes prettier each day after. Unfortunately their sepal turns brown so fast that I can't bring it to B.C.O.S.'s meeting to compete. I think they are very cute and beautiful, although it only lasts less than three weeks.
HI,
ReplyDeleteYour cattlaya orchids are lovely. Have you thought about how you would use them in an Ikebana style of arrangement. I look forward to seeing pictures if you have done one.
Regards,
Deborah
I think about using the flowers all the time, but I can't bring myself to cut them! Thank you for your comment!
