    Default Ctna. Why Not 'Roundabout' AM/AOS x self

    Here is a cute red orchid in bloom. This is one of the first orchids I ever posted on OrchidTalk. It continues to bloom on every pb. I love it. It is completely root bound as you can see in the first photo, but it seems happy.

    Thumbs up

    No wonder it's so amazing, it's eating it's wooden basket! What a beauty! Of course, your greenhouse must contain magic dust or something, your plants are just amazing always! The ctna. bunch are pretty little things....
    Thanks for sharing

    It sure seems happy and such a clear red bloom. Mine was doing so well for several years and this spring it decided to DIE with out any warning. Go Figure.

    The flowers are so cute, and I like the color contrast. And another spike on the way! Wow, good growing!

    That is so beautiful!! I had a ctna 'why not' that I purchased in FL a few months ago, and it really did poorly when I brought it home and it died right away...I was so sad. Bruce, how do you care for this little guy? Same as all the others?
