catteleya violacea

[Sasti]

Is a dream, simply perfect! I love violacea but... it doesn't love me.
Beautiful bloom

thanks you _

and yes it does grow outside and yes it was a little on the dry side..Its done blooming now and getting lots and lots of water. Looking much better now...It has a sprout tooo.

I was afraid to water it too much at once since it was already budded. I felt that giving it the water to fix the leaf problems might have blasted the bud and it was soo close to being a bloom...

I will try a 'Muse' next violacea
