Diaca Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle'

You make me laugh Sue!

Thanks for the info on where your friend got hers...you never know where my RAV4 will take me.

Sue I am posting a picture of my plant that looks exactly like yours but my tag says Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle' (C. Eldarado Splash x Caulathron bicornutum). Is it possible that this is one of those plants that they re-named?

Anyhow, if it is the same plant, I took the advice of a member about a years ago who said that it liked more water than a regular cat so I potted it in sphagnum and crushed peanuts. It responded by blooming three times last year.

Hi Jerry

The name on your tag is the most up-to-date for this chid, according to Orchidwiz

I originally had it potted and it didn't do well. I mounted it on Epiweb with just a little bit of sphag and it is blooming...but only once this year

Maybe I'll mound some more sphag on there and see what happens. This chid's been an experiment all along anyway

Thanks for the tip

I don't know how I missed this thread, but I love these blooms. They do look a lot like the Caularthron bicornutum parent. Does it have its fragrance?
