Default 2 Cattleyas

The first picture is Cattleya mossiae. The second picture is Lc Haw Yuan Angel (I think-I lost the label).

These actually bloomed last spring. I am pregnant, and when I took the pictures, I had really bad morning sickness, so their strong fragrance made me gag. I had to put them outside early so I couldn't smell them. I still haven't gotten over my aversion to Cattleya fragrance, but my doctor says I should be fine after I deliver.

That's a pity about the fragrance, but congratulations on the soon-to-be new member of your family! These catts look fantastic - I especially like the color and form of the second one.

They are lovely but I know what you mean about the fragrance sometimes being overwhelming...can't imagine how it would be with morning sickness

Congratulations on the wonderful news!
When are you due?

Hi Lily,

Congrats on your babay to be.

And congrats on your beautiful cattleya blooms...even though they made you even more nauseous with your morning sickness.
