Cattleya lueddemanniana & Epidendrum peperomia

[kavanaru]

Cattleya lueddemanniana 'Cesar Fernandez' x 'Infierno': both parents are very dark, so I was also expecting a very dark flower... genetics didn't want to play the same game The flowers is not yet fully open, and will probably get darker with time. It is also not very large, as it is typical for the dark colored (coastal type) lueddemannianas... still a nice bloom

Epidendrum peperomia: a pretty large plant, which suffered a lot last year, when changed from indoors to greenhouse growing... therefore only one flower this year...
