Blooming on Schedule and I'm Relieved
 

Two of my Cattleyas are blooming and I'm so relieved. Due to freezing temperatures they recently endured a 2 week stay in extremely underlit conditions.

The largest Cattleya in my collection is a Noid. I call her 'Big Momma' and she has 17 viable sheaths/buds this year. Her first blooms just opened and haven't yet developed their full color. The jury is still out on her other 1/2 dozen empty sheaths. It's my belief that 'Big Momma' has some George King 'Serendipity' in her background.

I lost the tag on my other blooming Catt. I believe she was labeled as Gold Digger something??? My bad.

Junebug your Cats are lovely and the basket is so attractive.... Where did you get it?

Great Growing :Tup::Tup::Tup:

Thanks, Sheridan. I bought the 15" hanging pot on clearance at Sam's Club over a year ago. It's so hard to find appropriate/attractive pots for large orchids and I snatched it up without hesitation. It's well ventilated but rather deep, so I filled the bottom half with styro. packing.;)

nice! i believe thats Lc. Gold Digger....

Thanks. An Lc. Gold Digger 'Fuch's Mandarin" is what I'm thinking. How would one pronounce Fuch's???:evil::blushing::rofl: That's what I'd really like to know. I'm hoping the "c" is silent.;)

I had a friend in school whose last name was Fuchs- pronounced the "u" like "you". Worked for her, in junior high school no less. :blushing:

OMG. Imagine her teacher calling roll on the first day of school...or a Nurse calling out her name as next in line to see the Doc. Oh, the embarassment of having a name like that.
