Pot. Burana Beauty thinning pbulbs?

[Bill U.]

I don't have any other cattleyas that have bloomed in this set-up, Burana is the one that has been in my care the longest. I have been able to get phals to bloom and also gotten Onc. Twinkles and Burr. Nelly Isler to bloom under this set-up so far though.

In terms of non-orchids, I have been able to get "full-sun" flowers to grow and bloom in this same set up (roses, gaillardia, dwarf zinnia, etc).

I have my Onc-types in hydroton in S/H and while the Burr. Nelly Isler has sulked for a while about the transition, Onc. Twinkle has just loved it! I couldn't imagine not doing the hydroton as S/H! That would be so much watering!! :P

If you bloomed roses, I would say the light is sufficient. Did the leaves on roses strong and green?
If so, that is really good light.
