Cattleya schroederae 'popayan' x self

[PeteM]

I purchased this plant from the Orchid Trail in March of 2020 as an unbloomed seedling. This is the second flowering lead of the season. In person these flowers petals are heavily cupped, and the tips of every part of this flower have curls for days. However, I’ve found it has a special super power that helps it survive. It is incredibly photogenic.

enjoy.

Why is this not at the NCOS show?

I know. It just opened up and I didn’t think it would make it. Plus I had no clue what it would look like.

Very pretty and I like your basket-in-aircone potting technique.

Very full looking flowers. Love it!

Most schroederaes have curled sepals. Even awarded ones. What’s the NS?

Very attractive flowers and don't care to much about the curled tips .... these flowers look gorgeous even with these curled tips.
