Default Mother's Day Gift - Laeliocattleya Irene Finney 'Spring's Best' AM/AOS in bud
I called Hausermann's to ask which of their plants in bud would look the best, and ship well for Mother's Day. I had my eye on C. Jose Martí 'Mother's Favorite', Lc. Ken Stromsland 'Eric' and L. purpurata v. werckhauserii 'Blue Sky'. George Hausermann said this would be the best bet: Laeliocattleya Irene Finney 'Spring's Best' AM/AOS.

It arrived at my mom's house yesterday. It is in an 8.5" / 21.5cm pot. It has 11 buds on 4 inflorescences.

Yours is a very lucky mother. What a beautiful plant! Naturally I had to look at their listing, and the flowers are beautiful - and the photos on Hausermann's site are never as nice as the flowers themselves.

Today. 11 flowers.

In the background: Tree is Jacaranda mimosifolia. It's in full bloom now. Ground cover is Trachelospermum jasminioides, star jasmine, also in full fragrant bloom. Tree ferns are ? Cibotium glaucum, "Hawiian tree fern". Plant in large pot is Kalanchoe orgyalis, a Madagascar plant that does very well outdoors in southern California.

You are an amazingly thoughtful son. The plant isn't too shabby either.
