Cattleya advice
 
I have some blooming sized Cattleyas that bloom in the summer time and they are in some high light to the point their leaves and pseudobulbs are turning red. And one has two sheaths and I want to make it bloom. Any suggestions?:biggrin:

If the bulbs and leaves are turning red, then they are getting good light. Blooming is up to their natural timing and there isn't much you can do to change that. Just give them good care and wait!

Growing orchids is training patience.
