Default Mid Week Pictures

As some of you may know, this past summer I "baked" my Cattleya out on the driveway along with my Cymbidiums in an effort to get them to flower. Well, some of them have cooperated... maybe not as nicely as other Catts I've seen posted by some of the other participants on this forum but for me I love them and a major accomplishment!

They are gorgeous. Great work, baking them seemed to work. I love the Chia Lin especially.

Catts do love being outside in the sun don't they? I think it brings out the very best in them - they reward you with lush gorgeous blooms

In the driveway?? ha ha careful Howard, talk about an easy pick-up

I know, Gloria. That's why I stay out there with them at night hoping.... especially when the moon is full.

Great job, Howard. No half-baked Catts there!

loooooool Howard, you do put alot of energy into these orchids don't you?
If you keep making all that noise in you're neighborhood its not the catts that will get picked up, LOL!!

Anyways honey, I get it, as orchids growers we must do what we must do for our orchids, it seems to be working for you, their blooming aren't they
