Cattleya tenebrosa in bloom
- another from last month
This plant is in quite bad shape (you can see some ugly dead pbulbs in the pic )  , and I was about to trash it late last year - I had picked it up to take it to the trash when I saw a sheath on the newest growth, so I figured I would give it a bit more time ...  I didn't expect it to actually bloom! So, just the one flower - but it was a good one! Good color, 6" across. So, I suppose I should attempt to clean up the plant when there's some new growth soon ... ;p
Thanks for looking  |

Thank you everyone 
Desert - this is why I can be quite persistent with my orchids, altho, I've become a bit more willing to trash some in recent years, as I want to downsize ...
DougR - yes, it was fragrant, but not strongly, and I'm unable to describe it other than "not unpleasant" |
