I love the yellow!! good growing!
Well, this was locally grown. lol
Anyways, I do have one from Hawaii that grew a few leads and even grew sheaths, but it is reblooming in one year!

I have one yellow mini catt and one large LC that blooms on every single lead. All others seem to skip and bloom on every other lead.

"The Best" (also locally grown) was bought in bloom and it is maturaing its first new growth under my care. It is really decent sized so I figured it would make a sheath, but no. Hopefully on the next new growth.
The flowers on The Best were quite something.
Like Goldenzelle on streroid!
Unfortunately it suffered great damage from the snails and only one out of four new eyes survived. I was so upset as it would have been amazing with all four growing!
well, I'm content with just one, better than nothing, right?

I'm impressed myself.
I'm just glad this plant is doing well for me (three flowers)!

I love cattleyas but the size is the main issues with me.
Goldenzelle is actually not that big compared to some others that I would love to have.
Thank goodness!

Yes, I grow this along with others on a large sunny window facing south.
I use fine fish net like curtain from IKEA (a little more "coarse" than typical sheer curtain which I think would block too much light) to prevent sun burn.
So far, it has worked well apparently.

Because it is south exposure, I do not get morning light. It gets sunny from about 10 or 11 till sun set.

"Lemon Chiffon" & "Tokyo" have produced some grat progeny. I'm looking forward to flowering LC.
One if you can get is Golden Canefields 'Aranbeem', really great.

Thank you!

It has been in bloom for about one month.
The show is getting very close to an end.
I touched the petals and they are still quite strong but the fragrance has significantly diminished.

I wish cattleyas lasted much longer in bloom. oh, well...

Wow, that is so spectacular. I need to show that picture to my other Cattleyas and explain to them that THAT is their goal!
