Cattleya mossiae two-for-one

[smweaver]

It turns out that the one plant of Cattleya mossiae that I've been growing for the last few years, and which is now flowering, is two different plants that were planted in the same pot. I assume it may have happened years ago when they were deflasked, and the two have been growing together ever since. I could probably disentangle the interconnected rhizomes, root systems and psueodulbs, but I think I'm going to opt for being a lazy grower and leaving them together, as I like the effect of the different shades of color.

Sure. maybe one day when theyre big enough to divide or when you next repot. Until then, gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!

i had a couple pots that came with more than one plant in it...didn't find out till they bloomed, lol....as they got bigger, I really had to separate them tho, it was just too cramped for them with both of them throwing out growths...yours is very nice, exceptional! good growing!
