Caulocattleya Ethels Paradise 'Hawaii' in bloom again

[JScott]

I bought this in bud last winter. I wasn't exactly crazy about it; I'm not entirely sure why I even bought it, but there it was

However, the longer I have it, the more I like it, and I'm glad I bought it now. It's really vigorous and robust. It bloomed last winter, then it bloomed in about June, and it's blooming again now, so I think this one is going to be a reliable twice a year bloomer. The flowers this time are a little bigger than the summer ones, and I feel like the color is a little richer. I added a 4th picture, which is the June blooms so you can compare.

Anyway, I like it, and thought you might like to see

I like stripes and spots and stripes made up of spots.

Ditto on the stripes of spots. That is beautiful!
