Lc. Canhamiana 'Azure Skies' AM/AOS in bloom
This orchid blooms reliably every 'spring' for me. It's one of my oldest and favorite. But this year its a bit early and also has only two buds. The first bloom on one spike opened today and the 2nd bud on another spike will open in a few days. Usually this produces at least two blooms per spike. It is now a specimen plant with lots of new growths and I was hoping for a good show!
I guess I am going to divide it when new growths begin and sell a piece at our society's orchid auction fund raiser. I don't need this large of a plant for that little display!!
The bloom is about 4 inches wide although it may open a bit wider yet. It had a nice scent before it was even fully open but not strong. This one starts out as a bluish purple but turns a bit pinker as the bloom ages.
