This one has just opened since Sunday. It is the first bloom for the plant which I bought last summer. It has a lovely lite vanilla scant. From pics I have seen on Orchid Wiz and on the net the coloration varies. I am looking forward to see how it looks on it's next bloom. These are supposed to bloom twice a year. It is presently sending out two nice new growth buds.

I'll have to show my Catts this picture as motivation. If they're still uncooperative, they know they're a just a small kick away from flying over the edge of my balcony.

Thanks. Let me know when the kicking begins so I can be there to catch them. LOL

Oh, I'm sure they'll do just fine with you. haha jk :P

That really is a beauty you have there. I think mine are just too young still...even though they have at least 7+ mature pseudobulbs each.

Thanks, man, nearly choked on my chow mein while reading this. Poor catts must have a complex by now. I don't threaten mine but they wait for nice rainy days to take leaps off my porch. I came home this afternoon to find my C. Gertrude Hauserman x Blc. Patch Siam in the shattered ruins of it's clay pot... and I thought it was so happy.
