The Lovely C. luteola

[Cavs n' Orchids]

This Catt has taken all manner of abuse, and just keeps going! Its a great little mini, but it has a weird smell. (kinda stinky plastic? Not strong though) Smell aside, I adore it, and after looking at these pics from last blooming, I vow to give it a little extra attention starting now!

Love the orchid sitting on the sofa....very nice blooms! Good growing!

Nice! What is your secret for blooming it. I have had mine less than a year and wonder what the trick is. Do you need to neglect it?

[Cavs n' Orchids]

Mine gets tons of light (south-facing), gets crispy dry very quick between watering, and flowers as soon as a pseudobulb is done growing. Other than that, nothing special, its in my living room window! Its the only Catt that hasnt sunburned there, either.

Very nice plant, and I really like the subtle colouring in the lip!

Great little luteola but I have a silly question, you say you are growing it indoors, where are all the oxalis weeds coming from?

[Orchidreamer]

I think the secret is to let it sit and sleep on a comfortable sofa

What a cutie!

Thanks everyone! The rotten oxalis hitched a ride from the greenhouse I bought it, and after repotting it and checking every nook and cranny, I am finally rid of it! The pic is from the second flowering after I bought it and hadnt repotted it yet.

This one has been on my wish list for awhile and after seeing your beautiful blooms-it has now made the top of the list.

Thats great to hear!! Its a wonderful indoor plant, because its so tiny, and isnt fussy about humidity (well, mine isnt anyways! lol)
