Hi!

I walked into my greenhouse this morning and discovered that the flowers on my Cattleya bowringiana var. coerulea have fully opened. I snapped a few pictures with my digital camera. My camera is going out on me so the colors (particularly the greens) aren't quite right.

I realize this orchid is no longer considered a Cattleya, but I'm behind the times on all the name changes.

By the way, this is an orchid that I purchased from Tropical Orchid Farm in Maui a few years ago. It blooms for me reliably each Fall.

Best Regards,

Kevin,

Here is a photo that I snapped today. It's in a 10-inch pot hanging in my greenhouse. The grows are getting taller and taller. This particular one is about 24 inches tall.

Kevin,

Thanks for mentioning the second sheath. I went out to the greenhouse to check and sure enough, there's a second sheath with buds ready to burst through. Thanks for noticing!!! :rollhappy:
