Blc. Seto Rainbow 'Paradise'

[Chris147]

I was feeling a little under the weather this weekend, so I decided to go to Lowes (Home improvement). To my advantage, they had just got in a whole new shipment of cattleya orchids and phalaenopsis. I'm not really into phalaenopsis, but I go crazy over Cattleyas. There were about 20 new cattleyas that were all in good condition. I would have gotten more than one, but I am short on space. Anyways, here is my Blc. Seto Rainbow 'Paradise.' It has two new growths which bring the total to 10. I wasn't planning on repotting it just yet because of the new growths, but there was mold in the medium, so I had to. Here are some pictures of my new baby. By the way, does anyone have a bloom picture for this plant. I have looked online, but have come up empty. Thanks for looking.

When I repotted the plant, I noticed that the sponge from when the plant was in a plug tray was still in between the roots of the smallest growths.

Your plant should look much the same as this.
