Smbc Jewel Osment
 

This is the 2nd time I've had this one bloom. :)

The first time it bloomed, I was so excited after waiting so long, that I posted a picture here :dance: ...and then Ross asked me where the two missing petals were! :crackup: I hadn't even noticed! :rofl:

This time there were three buds, two bloomed today...and they are actually complete flowers :coverlaugh:

I'll post better pictures tomorrow, it's really gray and yucky here today :(

Very VERY cool, Sue!!! Congrats!!!!!!

Oh Cool!
Mine has 2 spikes started and the first one is getting close to buds...
I am so excited to see the flowers for myself!

:drool: Oh that's beautiful! It looks kind of like a smoky pink.

It's gray and yucky on this end of the country too... drizzle drizzle, pour pour, windy windy. *sigh* but we desperately need the rain.

We barely got any rain here today and we need it very badly. I don't remember the last good rainfall we had :(

Well, thanks to Orchidwiz, I found out that this one is now known as:

Laeliocattleya Jewell Osment
(Laelia undulata x Cattleya lueddemanniana)

The three buds/blooms are all backed up to each other making it rather difficult to get a good shot of just one bloom, the third bud should be fully open later today

That is really pretty Sue! I love how ruffled the petals and lip are. I love the color too! Great growing on that one. And, I love the pool in the background!

Super colour..I'd call it dusky pink?...Is it scented?
I wouldn't mind seeing more pics of this..as I'm falling in love with the colour :)

It's gorgeous Sue!! :clap: I'm going to have to try to dig up the post of last blooming, with the missing petals! :coverlaugh: That must look weird!

Btw, you say it's an Lc now, but what did the Smbc in your first post stand for? I never heard of it before!

Smbc stood for Schombocattleya


I looked for the old thread but I can't find it :hmm
I'll dig up an old picture to show you :)
