Episode 111 - New Flowering Orchid

The next plant to blossom should be the yellow cattleya instead of the Ascocenda.

This cattleya has been in my home for about 3 years. The last time it flowered was in the summer of 2005 (see photo). The orchid has 2 leaves per shoot and the size of the flower is smaller than those one leaf orchids. As you can see from the photo, the flowers of this variety are very colourful.

Last year, I divided the orchid into 2 pots. It appears that the plants were not happy with the division and have not been flowered since then.

I just note that one pot of the yellow orchids is developing flowers. There are, just as last time, 3 flower buds in one shot.

Another pot of summer orchid.
