C. forbesii and Slc. Jewel Box
It is finally spring here in Sweden, and two plants have so far rewarded me with flowers:
Cattleya forbesii - first bloom of this plant. A little pale in color for my tastes. Very flat in profile. 9 cm across. Nice smell which is hard to describe. Reminds me of Angraecum didieri (complex fragrance with a lot of jasmine).
Slc. Jewel Box 'Scheherazade' - one of my favorites. Three spikes this year, although one of them got stuck in the sheath.
