My Cattleya maxima finally bloomed!
I bought this in 2007 with a couple of sheaths that never turned into anything...Then last Spring it put out all new growths and more blank sheaths...finally this Spring it bloomed.  |

Thanks Sue, The funny thing is that they start out a really pale lavender and then deepen with age.

When mine bloomed this year I was soooo disappointed when it opened because of the color but then turned really nicely dark after a few days. Is yours from TOF?

I bought mine from Del Favero Orchids, but I think it has an Ecuagenera tag in it.

Gorgeous colour
I think I would be disapointed with the initial colour, but then it deapens so nicely. |
