I hate it when this happens. My hubby was helping me bring my plants in a few nights ago when our Central Florida temps. dropped into the danger zone. I cautioned him to be very careful because several of my babies are in spike, bud or bloom. After hauling everyone indoors I was dissappointed to discover that one of my Cattleyas was missing her solitary unopened bud.

Today the chids went back outside and as I was clearing the table of plants I found this little bloom lying there.

I guess you could say this little flower was determined to bloom.
