    Young Cattleya orchids grow slowly at first and it can be deceptive just going by a picture of how big it will be as an adult. As with most things, some orchids are mini or medium size while others get huge. When you post the picture, also post its full name. Certain catts grow to be 6-8 in's tall while a big floofie Blc. can have p-bulbs over 15 in's tall. Its all in what kind you have and such...

    Smile Pictures of My Mini Cats

    Sorry for the delay in getting these pictures posted. It has been a little hectic around here. As you can see from the picture, they are very healthy and happy, and I am pleased with there growth in just one year. They were no where near this size, or this healthy when I bought them. If I remember correctly, I bought them as bag babies, at the end of the season for ½ price. I was willing to give it a shot at resuscitating them because they were only about $4.00. Any info you can give me on your thought would be greatly appreciated.
