second bloom on this plant I got as seedling from Fox Valley 4 years ago. Shape is getting better. Colour is nice aside from tiny blotch on left petal.

First bloom for this plant. I don't know where it comes from because this plant isn't registered in my files (a first!). It may be from JP Faust or from Ecuagenera. The tag doesn't have the mention of the registrered hybrid name, so the plant is likely from before 2019... The colour is very...

sourced from Sam Tsui (Orchid Inn) in 2021 First blooming

This is a slow grower for me... but this is the best of its annual blossom since it was out of flask in 2013. It is growing in a mix of bark and perlite, topping of akadama for decoration.

Bought as a single growth in 2009… it has come a long way! Until this year I rarely got more than 2 flowers at a time.

young plant acquired a year ago from Sam Tsui.

Very happy with this first bloom. Plant from Sam Tsui bought 2 and 1/2 years ago. It is grown in Semi-hydro with a mix of 50-50 rockwool cubes/ Leca. Phr-41 - Phrag. Fritz Schomburg (besseae 'OZ Selected' x kovachii 'Full Moon') by Jaljala, on Flickr Phr-41 - Phrag. Fritz Schomburg (besseae...

Too bad this plant never manages to produce a flower with a symetric staminode

Another species that enjoyed the new greenhouse (compared to indoor) and is rewarding me with blooms Lae-28 - Cattleya (Laelia) bicalhoi (dayana) f. coerulea by Jaljala, on Flickr

It is not easy to bloom rupicolous Laelias (sorry Cattleyas) in rainy Vancouver Canada 😄 After a few years struggling, I finally got some species to grow well and bloom, yeah! It involved a greenhouse and full unfiltered light 10 inches under the roof for all summer. They liked it... Lae-20 -...

This one is from JP Faust, young plant from 2017. It is the second bloom. The color seems stable now (first bloom had pale streaks across the sepals), only the pouch still has some trouble but hopefully will be more round next time. I really love the pouch lip!

I bought the whole flask of this in Dec 2016 from Woodstream Orchids. First decent bloom

Also from Woodstream Orchids delfask in end of 2016. First bloom in 2019 was not great, it is getting better...

Love the shape and colors ... bought it from Woodstream Orchids 4 years ago (just out of flasks). The first bloom last year had a deformity, so I am very happy with it this year!

A plant I got a few years ago from JohnM. A reliable bloomer and always a shape that I love 😍

Best bloom to date (3 1/2years from flask). Grows in 2" tea mug 😊
