Cattleya warscewiczii
 

Well, what can't we fix with a little bit of fertilizer, water and a toothpick....:biggrin: ! Here's the Cattleya warscewiczii I broke off the other day! Beautiful, uh? Who would tell the flower stem is broken!

There ya go! :yikes:

Thanks...I feel better now ;)

:clap: Great job Mauro! Beautiful! I have to say that the blue background really makes it POP!

Pop POP POPs!

P.S. I am so laughing about your repair work. I am laughing with you, not at you.

Great thinking on the repair. No sense missing out on a great photo, eh? Great thing about that blue is in Photoshop you can substitute a different background.

Yep, no sense at all loosing the opportunity!

Gwen, it worked out beautifully LOL!

Tindo, the stem was completely cut off the plant. Not just bent. I put it in the water with some fertilizer until the flowers completely open. Then I used the toothpick trick to fix it back to the remaining stem portion on the plant. It is a common trick we use here when a flower breaks in a show or something. If both parts are close enough to make a good contact, the flower will receive some water/nutrient and, in general, keep OK for one or two days provided the environment is not too hot.
