Well, here most of them are! The big paph is almost there, but I am trying not to "help" it along cause I tore one petal and sepal on my catt doing the same thing. I always forget about my little "schlimii cutie pie" until it flowers and then am in love with it again. I feel bad because it flowers so reliably for me and just keeps on going no matter what kind of neglect it gets! The cattleya that was supposed to be Pot. Cameron's Magnetism is obviously not. It has a light, beautiful floral smell. I know a NOID is a NOID, but has anyone ever seen one similar?

Gorgeous blooms. I love that large catt! Your Paph is very nice also.

I am new to this forum, but this post definitely made my day. I have a catt that my mother gave me as a baby 5 or 6 years ago, but it has never bloomed. Because I am a beginner, I was just telling my sister that I was going to give up and see if anybody wanted to take it off my hands and see if they could get it to bloom. The foliage is very healthy and it has always shown new growth, but no flowers! So...I think I will hold on a little longer, read more on the forum and see if I can get a flower worth the wait. Thanks again!

Sometimes it's a long wait but it is worth it! I've been waiting 7 years for my Phrag. seedling and I don't even know what it will look like.
