Cattleya aclandiae blooming--finally!

[smweaver]

After growing this one successfully for several years, but without getting a single bloom from it, I finally got it to flower. I think what worked was keeping it warm over the winter and increasing the light levels (I had been growing it intermediate, especially during the winter months, and giving moderate, instead of very bright, light). Very large blooms for such a small plant.
