joy

Blooming after 2 years, this time with two flowers! And as usual it was ignored till the last minute, hidden behind some large cattleyas so it wouldn’t blast. Works every time lol. A little nick on the left part of dorsal but hey it opened! Second bud to come. NS 9 cm

This species likes to blast in my conditions. I noticed that if I ignore it, it will develop nicely and open. If I even so much as to look at it, it will spontaneously abort. So I pretend it’s not there lol. And voila! It opened! Named after one of my favourite films.
