    Default Showing my bloomers...

    I bought Blc Hwa Yuan Beauty 'Pearl' in 2006. She finally bloomed for the first time last year. Here are pics from 2004 and 2010. She lived!!

    Tami, Nice Bloomers ! lol I'm fond of the first one,love the contrast of the white and pinkish/purple and the yellow throat. I'm thinking that my plants outside are not getting enough sun? I have several with sheaths, but none of my cattleya are currently in bloom.
    Have Fun,Rich

    Thx, Rich. The first one is the very first orchid I got. You can see how it was mistreated at first in the 2006 pic! thanks to OT, she made it. It does seem that abundant sunlight is key for blooming. PS - she has a luscious fragrance too!
    Thx, Bruce. Big Momma takes up a lot of room in the orchid house but she is worth it!
