Default Cattleya Tropical Pointer

More than 1 bloom this time - HOORAY! The last two times this has bloomed (most recently, this past November) - it had only 1 bloom (but a very large one in November). The time before that (previous summer, maybe?), it had 3 buds, but two blasted.

This time, 2 spikes with five 3" blooms each. Bifoliate - Most recent growths have 6" pbulbs topped by two 5" leaves.

Potted in a (5") plastic pot, chc mix. Watered before media becomes completely dry. Growing in a west facing window that gets some direct mid-afternoon sun.

Thanks for looking

Oh my! That is so nice! I have several seedlings that I am so impatient for them to become blooming size. Congrats on so many blooms. I remember your 1 great looking bloom back in Nov. Now there are so many!
