    Default Blc Memoria Helen Brown 'Sweet Afton' AM/AOS

    This big old cattley orchid is blooming again. I took these photos this morning after watering. I hope you enjoy them. Last year the blooms appeared really yellow. It must have been a change in fertilizer or something. This year they appear normal and very green again.

    Those are very pretty. I am always amazed at how little things like temperature can change the color of a flower.

    This is one of the better Green Catts around ( & been around for many years ) but also one of the most variable shaped flowers from the mericlone I've ever seen.

    Lovely blooms, Bruce. Mine starts off by being a light apple green and turns creamy white after 2 weeks or so.

    Beautiful cattleya! I agree with Connie, temperature seems to affect the color of my orchids more than anything else.
