My Cattleyas in 2024

[GuRu]

Cattleya trianae 'flamea'
I obtained this plant in August 2022 directly from Ecuagenera Ecuador and it came to me 'bare roots' via Ecuagenera Europe in Germany.
The colouration of the flower is intense and lovely ... hopefully the form will improve slightly after the plant will be fully established....we will see.

Lovely thing and very promising! We’ve all seen just how much Cattleya blooms can improve as the plant matures. Good luck.

Cattleya trianae fma. coerulea
The flower of my Cattleya trianae fma. coerulea seems to be improved compared with the her first flower in April 2023. Though the plant carries still only one flower and it isn't perfect .... I see the improvement and yes I like her very much.

 

[monocotman]

Lovely!

 

[dodidoki]

Very nice trianaes!!!

Both are nice and I’m a sucker for flameas, but that coerulea really catches my eye.

Cattleya mossiae fma. semialba
I bought this plant in August 2021 as fma. coerulea but with her first flowering in 02/2023 it was obviously a fma. semiallba.
Now she's in flower for the second time and she's not only one level up and seems to have reached her full potential. Two flower spikes every with 3 flowers with a very good form (at least in my eyes). I as a window sill grower am more than pleased how she has developed.

 

[monocotman]

Very nice!

I love the lips on mossiae! Nice bloom!

The mossiae is gorgeous!

Cattleya warneri fma. alba
I bought this plant as a young plant in early August 2021 and now I'm happy to see the first flower. I'm happy with this flower and that it is what is written on the tag.

Trichopilia tortilis
I know this isn't a Cattleya but I think she is worth to be shown here. This plant flowers every year like clockwork in early summer ... due to stance of the flowers the pot is also a big part of the photo.

 

[My Green Pets]

Well done, all very nice!

Guru you have a Very lovely collection, and on a windowsill too. Good job!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Good growing Rudolf! Keep it up.

 

[southernbelle]

Quite amazing for windowsill growing!

 

[Ozpaph]

trichs are fascinating

Cattley labiata
I was away in Central America for four weeks and now I found time to upload the photo I took before I left home early November.
This is the second flowering of this plant and if you are interested here you will find the photos of the first flowers.

Nice trianae, Rudolf. I'm a sucker for flameas and that's a particularly nice one.

Cattleya maxima fma. coerulea
This is the very first flower of this plant ... o.k. the form could be better and a single flower is poor for C. maxima ..... so there will be much space for improvements in the future ... but nevertheless I like it.
