Good Life

Good Life has been a reliable flowering orchid for a while now. This year, I found that the flies love its fragrance and possible sap on some of its surface. The flies drives me crazy. Lovely plant. Can't wait for my other cattleyas to bloom.

It been awhile...

Good Life has flowered again. Two flower buds fell off. probably due to me moving it from my kitchen to my bedroom. Temperature changes can do that to flowers I guess. What a generous flowerer.
Good news is I have other flowers coming up too. Will post when they open.

Chrissy Compton 'Mary Piazza' Bloomed! Wow.

I totally did not expect this cattleya to flower. I first noticed the small buds but was surprised that there was no sheath that normally protects the flower buds. What a bonus.
Not as big as I thought it might have turned out but then again I wasn't expecting it and it may need more fertilizer?
