Found this little love at my first visit to CO's orchid vendor, Fantasy Orchids.
I'm in love, so sweet, and slightly fragrant to boot.
Is it true that these stay smaller than other Cattleyas?
dry out between waterings?
underpot?
I have to say, this one has got to be the hardest flower I've ever found to photograph true to color.
Spent half an hour on the shots I got to get it as close as I could to the actual red of the flower.
Even now- the color is a richer, more dark cherry red than this, not quite as orange.
And yes. That is a chopstick holding it up. Resourcefulness at its best.
It's become good friends with my other mini- an
Easter cactus that's just going out of bloom (had 15 at last count).
