Love your sense of humor, Paul. I bet Yew is really laughing at your post! Betty :-)

Hehehehehe!!!!!!! (while clutching the Pot close to the chest - shucks! hope the red stain will wash off from the front of my favourite shirt.)

Thanks everyone for looking in and for your nice comments. It is still a small plant and I hope it will give even better blooms when it matures.

I have not faced this problem yet, but what I have surely noticed is that the flowers change color considerably. They start out red when the open, but in a few days they turn to a fiery orange, may be chocolate drop stabilizes the red. So be on a lookout for chocolate drop hybrids

I have always wanted a red cattelya but have never been successful with them as most red SLC don't seem to like the hot lowlands where I live.

I think this cattleya orchid is awesome worth to have in your collection as long as free flowering I would be happy.

Like I said Yew Sung, I'm not a big cattleya fan, but you just keep posting some of the most lovely catts I've seen. This one is gorgeous.
