Blc Toshi Aoki and other Cattleyas currently in bloom

[Janet]

I have four nice catts in bloom right now. They always do so much better in the summer and fall because of the time they spend outside.

First is Blc Toshi Aoki 'Pizazz' with four blooms, one just beginning to open. The flowers are not as large as I've seen them, but that's probably in part because there are four blooms and not just one or two.



Next is Lc Indigo Dawn 'Blue Bird' x Mood Indigo 'Darkest.' These flowers are larger than they look in the photo and there's another couple coming in a new growth on the back of the plant. It seems to bloom twice a year for me.



Then there's a noid that is probably an epicatt--small flowers for a catt and elongated pseudobulbs. Anyone who recognizes it, please let me know.



And last is Pot (Erin Kobayashi x Marlene Lundquist) 'Carmela,' and this is the first bloom on the plant.

All four are fragrant, some more than others.
