The summer heat isn't winding down but my cattleyas (et al) are doing great!

C. / L. crispa
I love the ruffled petals!





C. labiata decided to bloom for a second round!



Bifrenaria aureo-fulva



Den. bullenianum

[camille1585]

Very nice blooms, all are so beautiful! Me too, I like the ruffled look of the L. crispa.

Bifrenaria is a genus I don't know at all... Where's the plant? It is a tiny little thing hiding in the pot or is it leafless now?

[Jeff214]

There are small bulbs somewhere in that pot. They keep their single leaves for a while before it defoliates. The pendant spike made it so wobbly, I threw it in a larger pot. This is the only Bifrenaria I have and I haven't really figured this one out yet. It seems to need lots of water but hate having wet feet.
