Here's a few more 'Almosts'. The one Cattleya with the three buds normally only flowers with one, and its spike is short and holds the flowers right on top of the plant. This year it has three flowers, and the spike is around 5 inches! Cant wait to see if the color is the same, although I cant really remember what the color was exactly!
The other catt is Lc. Purple Cascade, and the paph is P. Pinocchio. The first phal is P. Nobby's Amy which has 3 spikes; one on a basal keiki, another was snapped off by yours truly and has since put out 2 branches, and grew another spike on the opposite side of the plant. The last is a NOID that is taking forever and just blasted 3 buds.
