My first Cattleya flower
 

There is it! Finally my first cattleya opened the first bud! I got this plant in Januaru and te plant was in very poor condition then (rooten roots, wrinkled pseudobulbs). uring the summer, It grew 5 new pseudobulbs and few weeks ago I saw 4 spikes growing from those new growths. I removed 2 spikes just to make the blooming easier for the plant. :D

Looks yummy!! Does it have a fragrance?:drool: :drool:

Yes, it does, but only at the evening... Fragrance is sweet but not very strong.

that is beautiful Aleksa specially your first one wow I remember my first clearly, Im sure you wont forget this one. congrats.

Yup, you never for get your first -- Cattleya that is. ;)

Good one, Aleksa. Nice Growing!

Oh yea the cattleya too of course

Congrats Alaska its a beautiful catt.
I have a question if i may. How long does it take to go from sheet to bloom?

Anxious in Toronto:lol:

Thank you, thank you! :waving

Soonix, my name is Aleksa, not Alaska :rofl:

The time from sheet to opened bloom varies, it depends on temperature. In my case, under optimal temperature plant needed a month to grow 2 spikes and open the flowers.
