Pot. Little Circle (Pot.Little Toshie Golden Country X Pot Golden Circle AM/AOS)

[Mr Cattleya]

Hello,
Just wanted to share the blooms on my Pot. Little Circle (Pot.Little Toshie Golden Country X Pot Golden Circle AM/AOS) I purchased from Wades Orchids back in 2018. This is the first time it has bloom. Thanks for looking, take care and God bless!

MC ------ beautiful flowers! You can maybe also post this under the 'cattleya alliance' section at Cattleya Alliance.

Also ----- not sure if it will work for your orchid or not ... but will mention the art of undivine intervention hehe. See the red circled upper sepal? Sometimes it is possible to manually flip it back into the concave position. At the moment, it ended up in the convex position.

MC ----- it's a term related to lens ..... and mirrors.

If you look at some lens or mirrors from one side of the lens ...... and if the appearance is that the lens is curved pushed-inward away from you ..... then that's conCAVE.

And if the curvature comes out (pops out) toward you, then that's convex.

So for your upper sepal ----- it is at the moment convex ...... curved outward. Sometimes, you can use your finger to pop the upper sepal so that it flips to inward curvature (convex). That's if we want to.

Here's an example - I had to search for it.

Before undivine intervention (convex)

After undivine intervention (concave)
