I never thought about that. If there are day and night fragrant species, why not be fragrant at any specific time? I never thought about that. Thanks. I just love the diversity among orchids.

That was my little bugger in Ann Arbor. It was awarded first place in the Cattleya species and miniature categories. Not bad for my first show! I'm glad that you were able to see it and enjoyed it....

Full Bloom

Thanks again everybody. No fragrance for sure. It is a very colorful little plant. It opened up all the way so I thought I'd include a few more pictures. It's heading off to Ann Arbor for the weekend...

Thank you, everyone! Yes, the color is fantastic. So far it is not fragrant, but I can't complain since it's so colorful.

:) I love it too. The yellow really glows in the sunlight. I'll pass the compliments along to it. Maybe it'll take off and grow like crazy.

Cattleya luteola

Well, it finally happened! This is the first orchid to bloom under my care (though I've only had it for three weeks and the buds only appeared April 1st). So I'm not really going to count this one ;)...

Yes, my goodness. Quite the adventure you had there. I'm glad it ended with a beautiful blooming orchid. Considering the parentage, I'm assuming this must have a lovely fragrance. Is that so?

P. kalihi alba 'Green Valley'

This is the PITA that won't stay in its pot. Again, no new growth aside from the spike coming up. It does have some fairly small roots currently growing near at the base, but I don't know how old...

P. mariposa 'Mountain'

This is the healthiest looking one. It has lots of roots above the medium that still have growing tips, but no new growths.
