Slc. Hsin Buu Lady 'y.t.'
 

This is a Christmas present from my daughter and is in a 4" pot. I really like the color on this one.

Very very nice - wonderful present!

I've had my Buu Lady for 4 or 5 years now and I really like it. I like the way the flowers are high above the foliage for one thing. And, of course, the pretty red color. Mine is spiking now. I hope you enjoy yours.

And a wonderful daughter too of course.

It is already a joy a total of eleven p. bulbs of which two are new growth bulbs. One may spike,but to early to be sure. By all means enjoy yours when it blooms.

Very pretty color, how nice to have such a nice daughter, with good taste.

She is a truly wonderful daughter and has done this for the last five years. I just loved the color on this plant.

Thank you

Awesome....I bought this one in june myself .
mine has just pushed a bud out of the sheath on its fist rebloom...gonna be small because I did not follow good practice and unpot when I got it and check roots because it was in bloom....lost almost every root but managed to get it to push out two new growths and a few roots....hope she looks a fraction as nice as yours .

oooo ... that's fabulous! what a wonderful gift!

I wish you a good bloom, the main thing is it sounds like you saved the plant.

LOL I did at that ...thank you,in case you need to know this one makes new psudobulbs and the roots will not start from the new growth untill after the Pbulbs are almost mature.Mine also likes to grow almost straight up as if to climb a tree...Mine looks like it went to the side in the picture because having one root to sustain her It wanted to lean over and I just left it where it was the most stable.

The blooms that were on mine when I bought it lasted several weeks and had just a trace of a scent ...does yours have a noticble scent?

Colour is terrific! Thanks for sharing.

I love this one whenever I see it. I have both this and it's parent Wendy's valentine. Both are great red compact catts with long lasting flowers.

I would love to see the parent, any pictures? The bloom just finished on mine.

I don't have a picture at hand, but my bloom looked identical to this one, you can see hsin buu lady is kind of a mix of the color of this flower and the form of laelia anceps

thank you for the reply and I have to agree with you on the color. Another one to add to my Long wish list.

No scent that I noticed,but I only checked in the morning.Good to know about the roots though

You are welcom, Ed. It seems that everybody has an ever-growing long list:rofl: At some point, you will want to have larger space, so you can make the list longer:biggrin:I haven't check my list for quite a while, since every bit space in my home that can recieve enough light is taken...

nice color!!! and i like the way the flowers are held up high above the foliage too....very nice plant and very nice daughter! congrats!

Very nice! I like the color as well.

very nice...I have yet to get a cat to rebloom

I add to mine often and seem to add as you say more than I haveroom for . I have two tables under lights and almost every window in the house in use at this point. Then again that's what the wish list is for. Now for the bigger house , #1 on the list.

I'm in eaastern Montana so my advice is to keep trying .all of my Cats. are under lights.

Me too:) Can't wait to graduate

Lovely bloom! The fact that your daughter gave it to you makes it priceless.
When either of my kids have bought me an orchid I've cherished them like it was the most expensive plant in my collection. In fact, I've rooted the roses they gave me for Mother's day and planted them in the yard.....and I don't even like roses:)

Agreed, but I think I'll keep my chids inside It's 14 below outside without the wind chill.

So glad to see the photo of your C. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' as I bought one that had not flowered and was wondering if the flowers were red like I hoped.

lol Missouri winters mean inside also and not having a green house or if I had one could not afford the heat probably means mine live indoors also,but Im lucky and they have their own room ....here is the progress mine has made since you started this thread.

It really upped the anticapation factor seeing this ones blooms on your post.....

I'm sure it will be worth the wait and good luck.
I just noticed a couple of new growths on mine.:D
