Cattleya iricolor

[Rosim_in_BR]

Here's my Cattleya iricolor mother plant. This plant had more than 30 healthy p-bulbs when I decided to repot it in a larger black, plastic (bad choice!!) pot. I didn't notice, but the plastic pot kept the humidity higher than the plant was used to and a few months later it got sick, several p-bulbs blackened and died. I was afraid I was loosing the entire plant, but fortunately managed to save a good piece and here it is in bloom. Just a few flowers this time, but considering what happened, I am glad it did it!!
