Blooming out of season
 
Lc. Frosty Pink 'H&R' has only bloomed in the fall for the last six years. I'm very surprised to get one spike of flowers now in the spring. This plant is two feet tall and growing in a 10" wood basket. There are 7 flower on the spike. It has a beautiful sweet fragrance.

When the plant was smaller it had 2 to 4 flowers per spike. It's a large orchid growing in a 10" basket now and it typically has 4 to 6 flowers per spike. In the fall it always blooms on multiple spikes and has 25 or more flowers.

Very beautiful orchid. May be it will bloom twice a year now that it is bigger and stronger.:)

Nice one, 7 flowers per spike. Is this usual for your plant Tucker or is it just trying to show off for spring!

This orchid can have anywhere from 3 to 7 flowers per spike. Now that it's a large, well established plant, it very often has 7 flowers.

Wow~ It looks really nice at the moment and many more on multiple spikes will be jaw dropping!

I don't know how you do it, but you always grow the most beautiful catts. I'm going to star growing catts in baskets. norma
