Cattleya nobilior alba

[katrina]

I lost all my walkerianas and all but 2 nobiliors...and last summer was not the first time those 2 species took a serious hit during our sometimes relentless rains. I've been thinking it might just be best to give up trying...especially given the cost of a decent nobilior. If I had a more protected outside space they'd all be fine, but I don't so it's probably best I just stick with the catts that never skip a beat when we have the extreme rainy summers...many times combined with some pretty cool temps in early june. I also seem to have an issue with scale on those 2 species...double whammy...bummer but it is too much frustration.
