Default My Faithful Catt :)

So I bought this years ago from a local nursery, back in my very early orchid-ing years (It was my second orchid :P) Every year since it has given me at least one bloom sometimes two, and a new growth. Sadly the name tag was misplaced long ago This year though, it seems to have taken a real liking to me. It has 5 new growths and has given be a few blooms two on another growth and then this one.

The one in the picture is an 8 growth plant, even though you can't see the rest in the picture b/c of the wierd camera angle. Awhile back I cut off the 6 bulb older growth (it was linear) which had no roots and gave it the bag-n-moss treatment. Much, much later, it sent up 4 new shoots and a nice mass of roots

Tim, Its a good thing I'm not at you're house right now, I would probably try to talk you out of it or just plain steal it, LOL
I think I've said enough - good growing!!

Coulde be a primary hybrid something like.

Rhyncholaelia glauca x Cattley walkeriana (or nobilor).

To still have your 2nd orchid alive and blooming is special and good growing.

Lovely thing. Sort of reminds me of 'Hawaiian Wedding Song'. Cool pic too.

Hahahaha, Gloria. Well thank you, I'll take desired theft as a compliment

And thanks Rob, its been through alot of 'Does this work' kind of experiments, and I've finally got it down. Others haven't been as forgiving O.o

Thanks Kim, and I'll look that up. I wish I could remember at least part of its name, that would be useful.
