Cattleya skinneri

[james mickelso]

Bud, I think your pics are nice. Good color. iphones take good pics. I just wanted to let you and others know that with cloudy skies, the color the camera sees is blue dominant. It washes out the reds/yellows and flattens the image. That's all. I used to teach photography over the net all around the world. I supervised the midnight shift and had little to do. I trained my crew so well, I had nothing to do and so taught photography. One of my portfolios can be seen at usefilm.com/jamesmickelson. Anyway, wasn't being critical of anyone's photography. It's just the teacher in me.

Beautiful Cody! I have a skinneri var occulata but I can't get it to bloom! Do you grow under lights during the cold months? I do and then put them outside for the summer. I can never get the pbulbs big enough for it to bloom. My plant is also puting out new leads right now and I read that they don't until summer. Is my plant confused or something or is it because it didn't bloom so it put out new growths sooner? If you have any tips I would appreciate it! This is suppose to be one of the easiest Catt species to bloom and I haven't been able to bloom it! Thanks!

Very nice blooms.
