I did not think I would have enough pictures to post this weekend, but when I went to take pictures of two plants, I found two more in bloom. Here they are:
Top row: Rhynchlalelia Digbyana, formely Barassoval Digbyana. I have had this plant for a long tme and it has always been a strong growerm but had a hard time flowering. I first changed it to a cork slab, where growth has been even more vigorous. Then I moved it more into the sun and it has begun flowering regularly. This is the first time it has two flowers at once. Second time in six months it flowers. Not much sent, the sepals were damaged when I moved it from where it hangs.
Second row from the top: I do not have too many hybrids, but I love these Blc. Ronald Hauserman. It flowers every three months. Huge flowers with the consistency of cardboard. Nice scent, spectacular shape. The color difference between the lips of the two flowers is real, one got more sin than the other.
Third Row. The first flower on the left I think is a Venezuelan species Cattleya Gaskelliana. Nice shape. The scent is so strong taht there are little bugs all the time flying around the plant. The next plant, third row on the right, is a Cattleya Intermedia from Brazil. Firts time it flowers and it went wild. The next row shows how the flowers within the same plant are different. Most are flared like the one on the left above, but one has no flares whatsoever like the one on the right. Slight scent.
