An orchid to drool over!
Here is a pic. taken this morning (11-7) of Blc. Hausermann's Holiday 'Christmas' AM/AOS with 7 large blooms. I bought this blooming size plant last year from Hausermann's in Chicago and it bloomed Nov/Dec last year. This year it outdid itself. There were 9 buds to begin with, but the first 2 opened and then dropped before these 7 matured. It is lightly fragrant with a floral scent. Well worth waiting a year for the blooms!!

I tink all orchids are to drool over, but some are more droolable, sometimes. Good growing, and drooling.
