    Default Lc Blue Boy in bloom

    The last time I posted pictures of Blue Boy was in November of last year with two flowers.After blooming I repotted it and now it is blooming again on a new growth. This time there were 3 blooms but when I moved the plant to another part of the orchid house I accidentally broke off one of he blooms - it's back to a two-bloom picture. Talk of IRK!

    In one of the pictures you can see me holding up the broken-off flower.

    Lc Blue Boy can be grown into a specimen plant with blooms on multiple leads. Unfortunately I have to keep dividing it for friends.

    Thanks everyone for looking in and for the comments.
    This is actually one of my favourite. The only complaint I have of it is that it lacks substance. I am now looking for crosses with it.
