Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle'

[Cjcorner]

Back when I first began buying orchids, I had gotten this cross and loved how easy it is to grow and bloom...not to mention the flowers are lovely and give off a wonderful perfume. The original got buggy and died...but I found a replacement several months ago. This is it's second blooming for me. The flowers bloom with a pale lemon yellow background that eventually turns white.

Connie like fake flowers very beautiful.

lovely, Connie

Wow! That's a happy plant.

Seeing your tall spike loaded with buds, I wonder how unhappy mine is. It bloomed a couple times, but with short spike and single flower.

[Naoki]

Lovely flowers, Connie.

It has 'spots', which I like. It give out 'fragrance', which makes much better.

Thank you e1... I recently changed fertilizers on the advice of a couple smart ladies from this group. Since I changed how I was fertilizing, what I was using and started spraying more often I began getting these results. If it weren't for this website and friends from here, i'd still be killing everything.

Very nice Cathy, one for the collection list.

Very nice, Connie! This one has been on my wishlist for a while. I am very surprised at how tall that spike is -- the others I have seen were much shorter.

Wow, Connie - what a pretty bloom - and a very stately spike! Never heard of it before, but what else is new - I'm learning as fast as I can. I do know I haven't seen one of these along my orchid-hunting expeditions, but I'll be looking out for it!

I always love seeing this orchid in bloom. The name makes me smile too.

cheers,
