Flowers!

Cattleya aurantiaca is flowering!!! I went to the greenhouse today and got this pleasant surprise! I knew it had buds, but I didn't think they would be busted out quite yet. It is really going to town this year. It has 6 flowers on the one that is already open, and 3 more buds on the next growth. I brought it home so we could admire it.





Charlie Brown is also about the flower. I brought it home too so I don't have to go back and get it next week or so when it opens. The spike is really long this time. I'm so glad this is able to flower again after having such a rough time of it last winter when we over sunned it. It looks happy as a clam.
