Well done LinSoo! Don't you wish you could ask it what you did this last year that it particularly liked?

I believe your orchids name is Blc. Hawaiian Night Life ’Carmela’ . see if you can find it on the INTERNET and compare the flowers.

Maybe that summer vacation did her some good.

To Orchid Crazy
Most cattleyas flower annually provide you have given them enough (TLC) Temperature, Light and Cookies. Cattleyas are epiphytic and you should simulate their natural growing environment. They like moderate to high temperature and a daily fluctuation of around 20 degrees (F). They love the sun but hate direct sunlight; the pseudobulbs (leaves) should be light green vs dark green. Like you and me, they love to eat. Treat them with weak fertilizer when watering (I do it 1/4 strength) and throughout flushing once every 2 months with plain water to avoid salt build up. Remember to let them completely dry out before watering. I hope this helps. Enjoy and good luck.

Good growing Linsoo. Very pretty. If you got 1 to bloom you most certainly should get more to join the fun too. I love the excitement of a new bloom
