Cattleya Lueddemanniana
Good morning every one,
I have attached a couple of pictures of one Cattleya Lueddemanniana that is flowering now, I hope you like it. This is the first time that has three flowers in the same spike. There are two more spikes on the way, one is already opening and buds are showing but the other is not so clear. This is a problem that i have with some of my Cattleyas, they grow new buds that end with spikes, but after several weeks or even months they don`t grow buds inside. Some times they remain green for a year, but no flowers at all.
I have read that this might happen if the plants don´t ge enough sun, but i am not sure about it. Why some of the spikes bloom and others, in the same plant don´t?
The aroma of this particular plant is great, not too strong but very pleasant.
The mother plant has been with me since 2009.
