My Cattleya Leoloddiglossa has finally bloomed
I bought this Cattleya Leoloddiglossa seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids 4 years ago (SVO 7182, C. Leoloddiglossa 'Seeing Blue Spots' x C. Leoloddiglossa 'Exotic Orchids' AM/AOS). I almost got rid of it last year thinking it was a runt and may never bloom. I'm really glad I didn't.

Thats so interesting! Mine was a runt too! Also from SVO the year after yours. It didn't take off like my other bifoliates. I have all three parents thriving. I didnt get it. Finally this year is is gaining speed and now has two buds.
Congrats on your turn-around and the flowers are beautiful! Very light and delicate!

It’s gorgeous! Worth the wait. I was thinking mine was looking pretty runt-like too, just got it this year, I probably have a long wait!

Thank you all!
@Louis_W: I'm looking forward to seeing yours.
@Dalachin: I hope yours blooms a bit faster than mine and Louis_W's, but it is worth the wait.
One week later, the flowers have opened more and are a bit more "blue".
