In this picture you can see the flower size in relation of plant size.

There has got to be a way to post direct links. Looks to have pink color. Maybe it's just the lighting.

Yes, light comes from Osram Fluora 77 T8 tubes, it is a special tube for plant growing and has lilac light because of its special spectrum ( more blue and red light). Unfortunately there is no spring here at all ( in EU), always rain and clouds, no sunlight at all and I can't make a pic in natural light....total depression.

Rain and clouds! That is Spring!

Rain and clouds! That is Spring!

And snow and cold...this spring there was much more cold than in winter, in 15th of March morning temp. was -18 C degrees in morning. This spring there was more snow falling than this winter in all, 70-80 cm snow had fallen within 2 days in 13th and 14th of March.

Thanks, Clark. Beat me to it.

dodidoki, look for the tags, and copy-paste that link into the Slippertalk thread.

 

[Ozpaph]

as above.
I love to see the big pictures! Thanks.

 

[dodidoki]

Hope nobody minds.

Thanks for help!

nice flower; is it supposed to be yellow or white/cream? the photo does make it look larger than I would have expected for jongheana (of course my plants never flowered)

 

[dodidoki]

Thanks, flower is very nice bright white and you are right, surprisingly large, plant is about 10 cm tall, flower is about 12 cm wide! I look after, jongheana has large flower. Otherwise seller said that it is something selected clone but doesn't know its name. Not was cheap at all....

Beautiful. It is a cattleya I've been thinking of getting.
