BLC Waianae Leopard "Ching Hua" taken by Fusarium

[NYCorchidman]

No pictures, but the plant was purchased in late June. The flowers were nice and fragrance was amazing!

After a couple of weeks in bloom, the flowers started to wilt, which I thought was strange because this cattleya flowers are supposed to be long lasting.
All the flowers dropped, then leaves started to wrinkle and lose substance. The pbs were all severely wrinkled up as well.

I watered it good but things did not get better.

Just today, I found that dreaded "bottom up" dark rot on some of the pbs.
The plant is pitched.

I hope the disease did not spread to any other orchids.

well, I guess I will get another one of the same plant.
The good news is that it is not a rare plant.
