Cattleya percivaliana alba 'Anja'

[GuRu]

I bought this division from Hilmar in an eBay auction and now it's flowering for the first time on my windowsill. Today in the sfternoon the weather was good and we had sometimes sunshine so much better light for taking photos than in the last dull days.

I too am a big fan of almost anything alba! Thanks

It's wonderful, Rudolf!

I think, though, that you have to rephrase your opening line:

I bought this division from Hilmar in an eBay auction....

A more truthfully rendition would be:
"I beat Jens in an eBay auction for this division from Hilmar..."

Jens, if I had known that you were another bidder in that auction...I would have taken my fingers from the keyboard. But maybe we will find a solution in the future.

I will certainly accept the olive branch in form of a division sometime in the future, when your plant has matured!

And maybe we better pm to exchange our eBay nom de guerres to avoid future bid frenzies towards the abyss!

LMAO at you two Catt. Crazies. The lovely white is worth a bit of an exchange.

Beautiful deep orange throat on that one, how is the fragrance?

I detected not much fragrance...... but maybe when the plant flowered, now the flowers fade one by one, there wasn't enough sunlight and warmth?
