Congratulations, Cheddarbob! We'll be waiting along with you. :)

Here she is! My 1st cattleya blooms!!! So pumped. We came home from vacation last sunday to these beauties being opened up. On the day we left (the 30th), you could just start to see the tips of the yellow blooms peeking out. No scent whatsoever, and I've checked morning, noon, and night, before and after watering.....nothing.

Beautiful! A lot of the minis aren't fragrant, but they make up for it in being floriferous, not picky about growing conditions, and with colors of the sun.

That was worth the wait. Beautiful and bright yellow!
