Oh and I forgot to say that my friend in Denver that I went to see, he got one also. He is a florist who doesn't really grow orchids, but uses them for his clients. He got one and I told him I was going to bloom mine before he did his. I will make him an addict if it kills me.

The 'Blue Hawaii''s first bloom was on a pseudobulb + leaf under six inches, probably close to five and a half inches. The new growth is six inches. It shouldn't get too much larger than this. I must admit, this is probably my favorite Cattleya.

And maybe it will be mine someday. It's starting a new growth, I think that is it's 5th. It's staring to get about that close I would say. I do love my jewel box.

You guys have talked me into it.....I just this minute ordered Blue Hawaii from Hausermanns . It comes in a 3 inch pot, so I know I'll have to wait for blooms. |

It is blooming size so you shouldn't need to wait too long. I bought mine from Hausermann's (the 2.5inch pot) and mine came in bud. |

I just picked up a Phaius Looking At You. Where? Walmart! So I bought 2. This time I can't wait for the flowers to die so I can try and propagate the flower stalk. This orchid grows in more of a regular soil type, very light mix. Interesting.

"Looking at You" is the hybrid name?
Could you post a pic of plant and flower please? |
