Cattleya from Gold Country

[charlesf6]

Received this plant in fine condition earlier this year.


Was somewhat worried about the powdery white film on the leaves so when I questioned the vendor Alan he told me it was the result of very hard water and that it would not harm the plant. It was a build up of calcium and my cattleya will flower better because of the extra calcium.



Starting to fret over the shaded spots on the underneath of the leaves that have now been appearing though ?
