Three beautiful species

[Shiva]

First is C. purpurata var. Cindarosa

Phal. bastianii

Lycaste aromatica

 

[Hera]

Beautiful and well grown.

 

[Inguna]

All three are nice Lycaste aromatica looks impressive. So many flowers :drool:

These are really beautiful in their own ways! I especially like the intensely-colored lips of the Laelia purpurata.

I recently acquired a L. purpurata v. werkhauseri that is in sheath. Hopefully, I can share lovely photos too

[Erythrone]

I disagree... Not only beautiful.... They are fabulous!!

C. purpurata var. Cindarosa is really nice!!!

Is it easy to grow?

 

[Shiva]

Is it easy to grow?

Easy as Pi. In fact, I didn't see the flowers until a visiting friend pointed them out to me. There were a few big plants around hiding them. It grows cool or temperate with good light and tolerates some neglect in watering schedule.

Thanks... But what does the word "Pi" mean?

 

[Shiva]

3.14159; the relation between the diameter of a circle and it's circumference. Usually, the word pie is used in the saying but I'm not good at making pies.

OK, Pi like 3,1416.

And Pi like the book or the Yann Martel book 'Life of Pi'.

And I am not good at making pies too...

Yah know, like Pi Pi. "Mama, I gotta go Pi Pi"...

All are lovely. The Lycaste is a spectacular specimen to boot. OK, question about the "Laelia/Cattleya" - which is it these days?

Gorgeous blooms all!! The lip on the catt is really a stunning contrast! Your lycaste is magnificent! Super growing!!!

 

[koshki]
