I got this plant in bud last fall.
It had such a loooong rest that I almost dumped it out thinking something went wrong with the plant.
Well, a new growth sprouted late spring and grew at an alarming speed. and now in bloom again!
The new growth had rather smallish leaves. Also I had grown this one foot away from the window so I didn't expect much out of the plant.
The grower told me this plant needs light brighter than any cattleya. maybe it was not so true.
Well, when I saw a few (not just one) little buds emerging without sheath last month, I was really excited.
All four flowers are open this week. It had four flowers when I bought it last year so I feel proud.
The flowers are smaller and overall skinnier in shape, but I find them pretty enough to enjoy.
Now I am waiting for the fragrance to kick in.
