Light colored Cattleya loddigesii - Orchid Board

Good sepals, but not as good petals as it would be desirable to harmonize the flower. The light color sometimes gives me the impression of some sort of metallic pink when the flower is well lit. The plant itself is not very good, I've been struggling with a chronic dehydration for at least three years... tried everything with poor results.

Once again Mauro, you don't like.... can't take care of ... well, like I said before I'll pay, you box it.... put it in the same box with the other one so I can save on the postage and send it up here..... I'll make sure it gets watered and fed a proper diet!!!!!!

I wouldn't do that to you, Howard, sending a weak plant only to give you extra work

! I'm giving one more chance to this one too!!!

Looks really nice, I think it deserves another chance

Am I not right, Rosie? Why giving Howard extra work with this weak plant?

See Mauro, everybody wants to help lighten your burden of taking care of sooooo many chids. I trust later today you'll be at the local post office sending this wonderful plant and its other cousin off to my happy growing green house!!!!!

Well Howard, if you REALLY want to help Mauro out, you should hop on a plane, and give him a hand personally. His fierce dragon would probably like the company, too.

I would love to spend time with Mauro or any of you and learn some of the things you know... there are sooooo many out there, like Mauro, who seem to have such a wealth of knowledge! I'm thankful they are here for all of our collective well-being!
