cernua

One of my yellow cernuas (my third one, I think) popped out a new growth with two buds. Pretty good shape overall but possibly get rounder with a stronger plant as it’s just established 🙏☺️🤞. NS 3 cm.

Always appreciate these carrot colored flowers! First spike to appear so far and looks like a few more new growths coming. 🤞🤞🤞… grows intermediate in winter and dry-ish. Hot summers.

This little guy is throwing 3-4 spikes this season. Flowers not as round as other times but hey it’s alive and well lol. Also more tangerine orange (no red tones) this time around.

Another exciting mini cattleya species in bud. This is the rare yellow form of cernua. Another week to open! The anticipation is killing me 😂. Grows inside the large warm (19-23C) terrarium, mounted on cork, next to fan. Wet in morning, dry by evening.

Cute little thing on a mount. First to flower... off season a bit with only one inflorescence. The other larger sister plant usually flowers with 4 to 5 clusters.
