Nice!
Some of my maxillarias are in bloom. They have amazing scents!
Cheers. Hoa.
change is the only constant
Well Bench, I have ta tell ya ... as time goes, I seem to find myself more and more attracted to the unusual and weird flowers. The pretty floofs are pretty but there are soooooooooo many look alikes now & so common, I think I'm simply finding the uniqueness of the species to be far more intriguing.Originally Posted by bench72

WHAT!! Pavel - I may have to disinherit you!! No floofy catts. Try species catts then. Huumph, and I thought we taught you better than that!

It's funny because I have gone through stages of really liking the big, brash flowers.. and then went towards the botanicals (being a member of a species society helped) and now, I like everything so my collection have some interesting tiny flowered plants and some big, in-your-face flowers... a case in point are two plants currently flowering, ie a big, Big, BIG Cattleya, which unfortunately is a NOID, and the little Stenoglottis longifolia...
I guess, they both have very different appeal.. and I certainly couldn't see myself parting with either one...

Well, Diane, I do have a couple mildly floofy catts but most of them that I've seen just grow waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to big for my limited growing space. Don't seem to be too many floofy mini'sWHAT!!

Even the floofy minis grow large - I hear your pain, Pavel!

Pain? With a Mildred Rives?? THAT'S a BIG catt!
Pavel, you should try one of the Richard Mueller type hybrids, small but lovely!

Smaller, yes, but I have a RM cross that's taking up some space. Although, it does have 21 growths on it...)
