LC. Summer Christmas 'Maria' in Bloom
 
I got this one in bud around April and now it is in bloom again!
There are three flowers, so I guess I did a good job. :)

The shape seems more stable than the last time too.

It's such a small compact grower, yet the flowers are about the biggest of all my compact catts. and very fragrant.

I love the crisp and almost glowing texture of the flower color, which unfortunately my poor photos did not capture.

This one is a keeper for me now. :D

Very pretty. I like the shape, and the outline of color on the lip is especially attractive.

No, no, it's not worth keeping ... you can give it, I'll look after it.

Great bloom, thanks for sharing.

Yes, very nice. I love the purple edging on the side lobes encircling the lip.

I mean encircling the column.
It really makes it pop.

Good to see that everyone likes it!

Monika & Carrie- When I divide it, I'll keep you posted, but it might take at least one year.
It is the second time blooming, so the plant does have a few smaller growths, but I'd like to maintain at least three or four per division. With the current speed, it can grow three leads per year. not too bad.
