    Default My semi-compost pic

    This is a photo of the cattylea I had sphag & bagged a little while back. Since I had so many divisions, I decided to let the one develop buds. I figure I could at least see what the flowers will looks like.
    These are the two buds. There is a pretty good root growing also.

    That's gonna be one hardy orchid if it survives the blooming!

    Good luck!

    If there are roots, there is a good chance it will survive. Post a pic of the flowers when they open, Traci.

    Traci, did you pot it up yet? Or are you watering it daily or something?

    It is still in the bag with moist moss. I might attach it to my *tree* of catts if it makes it through the bloom. (I have a trunk of cork bark I have attached a few catts too, pictures coming soon!)

    Default Buds are open!

    This has alot of potential! With proper care, maybe the blooms will be larger next flowering.
