    Default Lc Blue Boy in bloom

    It has been some time since this cattleya bloomed. Actually this plant was saved from a pot with 15 p'bulbs, most of which rotted. I only managed to save 4 p'bulbs that escaped the rot. It has undergone a very slow process of rehabilitation but has at last rewarded me with this spike. This has taught me a very valuable lesson i.e not to put off repotting until it is too late.

    That's the best Blue Boy I'v seen up to now.
    The color the lip and the all over flower shape are all excellent.
