    Default Oncostele Catatante Pacific Sun Spots (A Little Flower Power Here).

    This is one of my original two orchids from over six years ago. It originally came in a 3 inch pot, but bloomed beautifully within a few months of my receiving it. It has not been a reliable bloomer every year, but with more winter light that maybe changing now. Will post another photo when in full flower. Enjoy the rich colors!

    Default Twenty Eight Blooms/Buds at Two Inches Wide Each.

    This orchid is putting on quite a display of Fall colors. I do believe this plant is making up a bit for lost time. AL Name:  Oncostele Catante 'Pacific Sun Spots' 008.JPG
