It has certainly been a strange flowering season, just when things are supposed to slow down, flowering picks up and the plants that I had thought were going to skip flowering are doing it. I could blame the weather or my massive repotting in late July August, but I will never know. In any case, here are six plants, five species and yes, I do own some hybrids, not too many but here is one.
Top left: Blc. Mroning Glory. I usually don’t pick up hybrids but the lip of this flower was stunning. On the right one of my better Cattleya Walkeriana From Brazil.
Top left, this is Cat. Lueddemaniana Clint Mc Dade x Raga, the plant had two flowers but they were both tangled so the sepals were twisted like this flower is on the left. I love the yellow tint in this plant. On the right a ver y nice Cattleya Percivaliana from Venezuela, this is the “Gabriela” vairiety.
On the top left a Laelia Anceps from Mexico and Central America, this is a nice flower, note the flaring, a little small because this plant had almost all of its roots in the air. I repotted it today. On the right Encyclia Cochleata, a very weird looking flower found in many parts of South America.
