Cattleya Burana Beauty and 500th Post

[gardenguysorchids]

Last September I joined this forum and it was the best thing I ever did. I have learned so much from you and have enjoyed making so many friends--if only on line. This is truly a great community of people from all over the world. One of my first posts with pictures--if not the first--was of my cattleya Burana Beauty . At that time it had four blooms. It is now in bloom again. This time only with three blooms but I love them. I have been photographing this over the past four days to get the sequence of bloom. I thought this would make an appropriate 500th post. I would like to thank all of you for what you have taught me, for the complements you have given my posts and for accepting me into the community. I am looking forward to another 500 posts and many more after that. For each success I have with an orchid I share that success with you and what I have learned here. A very special thank you to Bruce for providing us with this forum.Wishing you all the best ! Thank You,Bill

Very nice 'progress report' on Burana Beauty, Bill. I share your sentiments re joining OTF and always enjoy your posts.I joined OT a month after you and it has become a daily routine with me reading the posts and enjoying all of them be it from beginners or experts.

Keep those posts coming, Bill.

What a sweet lady to share for the celebration of 500 posts. She is quite a lovely plant and I think it was wonderful to be able to watch her make her debut with these lovely blooms. Thank you.

Hi BIll,Very nice color and healthy plant. I've noticed you grow in clay pot in LECA? What is your watering guide in that particular Cattleya?
