Episode 67 - In Bud

The flowers are now in bud!

I believe that the orchid will blossom within one to two weeks.

As there are still 25 days before the Chinese New Year, and the flowers for this variety can last for around 2 weeks only, I am not sure if the flowers can last until the New Year. Let's see my luck this time.

The position of the White Cattleya is a little bit uncertain. The 2nd flower bud of the orchid is coming out from the shoot but the first flower bud has stopped growing. I am afraid that the 2nd bud will take away all the food and the first bud will dry up soon. As mentioned previously, it is not easy, if not impossible, to have 2 blossoming flowers in one pot for this variety.

There is no sign of a flower bud yet for the Clivia.
