Monster-Catt, Vandofinetia Pat Arcari & Encyclia garciana

[RenéeS]

I currently have these 3 in bloom. The Cattleya is a 20 year old noID, I got a division of it after my grandmother died 7 years ago. Therefore I named it Catt. 'Grootje' . I must say that these type of flowers just aren't my favorites, I prefer the little ones. Even though I must say that the lip is quite pretty.

The Vandofinetia unfortunatly lost all it's buds except for 1 due to a great drop in temperature, I think.

The Encyclia (I know.. it's named differently, but I don't know how it's called now.. Anacheilium? Prostechia??) has been blooming since the end of September and is currently working on a 3rd set of buds . Funny thing with this one is that the first set of flowers was a lot more pink then these, I have the feeling it's getting a little tired..

Then I also have a little Maxillaria schunkeana in bud, a little black flower. It'll probably be in bloom when I'm gone over the Christmas holidays .

Thanks for looking & hope you like
