flava

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.

Pygmaeas are the lilliputians of the Cattleya tribe, with plant height 2-3 cm and large flower ratio (flowers can be 2-4 cm!). These two plants of mine are currently blooming under the care of my orchid buddy in Brazil. One is the red type form and the other the yellow flava form. Both were...

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.
