Got my first 2 Cattleyas from orchids.com today

[angelann79]

I wanted to share a photo of my first 2 Cattleyas that I got today from orchids.com. They are nice, big, healthy plants and I couldn't be more happy with them. I also got a Phalaenopsis in bloom from them too. The Catts are not in bloom though, but I hope they do. One is called Blc. Cornerstone 'Perfection' (Blc.Bryce Canyone 'Splendiferous' X Blc.Memoria Crispin Rosales) and the other is called Lc.Tainan City 'Crimson Glory' (Lc. Royal Emperor x Lc. Waianae Sunset). One will be purple and the other red. I cannot wait to see these bloom! Would that most likely be around the fall or in the spring again?

Thanks, I am very happy with them. Do you happen to have a picture of yours in bloom?

Very nice! I always get jelous when I see plants growing straight up... mine are on a balcony so they all grow sideways in one direction

Happy Growing
