Lovely big Catt with no name

[let_it_grow]

She is one of my fave saves so far. Still have a few that have not bloomed yet cause of the shape they were in when I got them but she is sooooo fragrant. Smells like lilies and smells up the whole dining room/ living room. Her flowers have stayed a long time too, none have wilted or fallen off and she is still very fragrant after a couple weeks. The main reason I wanted a name for her is because I'm getting a tattoo sleeve of all of the orchids that I have an id for and have the id below the plant. Thankfully out of my 43 or 44 (losing count) i have doubles, tripples and quadruples of some and I don't have an id for lots of them so lots of them may not go on the sleeve. Only have so much room on my arm lol. She is going to make a very nice centrepiece for Xmas dinner tho. And considering how well she did in such a short period of time I expect her to be quite large in a few years with multiple pseudobulbs blooming at once (fingers crossed).

Thanks, I think it's cause I tossed her outside all summer

[Ferns Daddy]

Maybe I should put mine outside this summer to see if that helps

[let_it_grow]

Yeah it worked for me. Jut make sure they aren't in direct sunlight cause my neighbour that live above me moved mine into direct light and she got a bunch of her leaves burned in the sun

[Ferns Daddy]

I have a patio thats has a shade cloth over it and it gets about 75% sun I'm hoping that will be enought shade for them

[let_it_grow]

Yeah I just put mine in one of those mesh dining tents on the patio and it was fine. It wasn't till they moved it outside of the dining tent that it got burned

[Ferns Daddy]

No one would touch my Orchids, its just me and the dog here and she can't get near the because there to high for her to reach or maybe its because she so short

I do hope you thoroughly pummeled your neighbors above the shoulders, in the head and neck area!
No seriously - I do hope the neighbor was spoken to about this! Unless an emergency, no one touches my orc's! I agree with ferns daddy. I practically have it posted on my front door!!!
We are supposed to be getting a blizzard soon, so the board will be one of my only outer contacts! Will let you know of Indy's weather, plus I have had a couple of orc's bloom recently.
Hope you and everyone has a great holiday season -
Steve
Oh yeah - have a

cool! you're gonna get a full sleeve of your orchids. I want to get an ankle bracelet of different orchids. I really want it to cover up an older tat of sharks (it's pretty small)
