Wonderful! I'm a big fan of Chocolate Drop as well and yours looks stunning with all those flowers :bowing:

Thank you all!

Thats gorgeous Laura!!

Laura,

Congrats! now it's time to celebrate it... with a BIG piece of chocolate!!!

I love it! It's gorgeous!
Bravo!

Fantastic!!! :drool:

:wtg:

Congratulations!

Wow, Laura. I think I'll be OK once I pry my eyeballs out of the keyboard. Being a big Chocolate Drop fan, I personally feel that 'Volcano Queen' is a much better parent than 'Kodama'. Great growing, Laura!

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments!
Just when I think that I'm not that great at growing cattleya's, along comes a plant like this and makes me re-think that thought!
In our house we call it the Hoover effect...the plants some how know that your about to give up on them, so they send out something really good to suck you back in! LOL
