Catt. Love Knot 'Blue Star'

[Keysguy]

Following up on an earlier thread Bayard started on his spectacular sincorana. Although formerly listed as an Lc., Love Knot is now rightly just Catt. as it is a primary hybrid of C. sincorana x C. walkeriana.
Mine is a coerulea. On Bayard's thread, Leafmite had mentioned having a Love Knot but didn't say what color it was. I only found 1 awarded coerulea on OrchidWiz and it was a Fred Clarke plant so I suspect that's where I got mine. This plant has been treading water for a couple years after an emergency re-mount due to rot. I used to get a half dozen blooms at a time which on this little plant looks just spectacular. Alas, just one right now but I'm happy it's coming back and this 1 bloom is absolutely perfect!

most excellent!!!

is this a photo of a mount that you moved onto a patio chair for the photograph or is the mount secured to the wicker?


i am only asking because i like wicker and i have wondered if it would work LOL

DC---- just there for the picture background.
Hangs high in my shadehouse normally and it's mounted on cork.

Wow, that is beautiful! It has a really elegant appearance!

Mine is a cross made by Alan of Gold Country Orchids and bought as a young plant. I am hoping it will bloom this year.

That is beautiful. I have the same one, but it is taking so long to reach blooming size. But I will wait, and eventually it will get there.

thought so....
I have a fantasy of an orchid on a huge wicker basket but it just doesn't last long enough LOL

splendid plant, sorry for the derail
