LC Gold Digger 'Fuch's Mandarin'
I got this plant about 2 years ago as a medium seedling in one of those "Sun Bulb" packages. I immediately reoptted it into a 6" basket with large grade bark and charcoal. It sits up high in the Greenhouse and to my delight the other day I saw a beautiful bright yellow flower! It was only one, but I think that is expected on a baby's 1st bloom! As it gets older it is turning more orange. It's little things like this that keeps us going! Here's a pic for everyone!!!

Very nice!
Here's a pic of my little gold digger (of the same variety) that bloomed recently.
I bought mine for the name, alone .   |

Hiya, Luckgrower
Be sure to post a pic of your blooms here. It would be really interesting to see how yours look!

Hmmm. . .the name on the tag (and believe me, this is the sum total of what I know about it's creation) only says, Laeliacattleya Gold Digger 'Fuch's Mandarin' CCM/AOS. Are there different clonal varieties within that name?
Sure is a pretty little, compact bloomer! |

There are ones with and without the CCM/AOS, so that may be it...

I know I'm pleased. And for once, a picture actually captured the flowers true color!
