Arne's Orchid Corner

Together with my husband, Arne, I am writing about our orchid collection that is constantly expanding. Orchids are his favourite and coming from Malaysia, this was one of the many things about him that surprises me. I found it interesting how he cultured orchids up in Sweden. Of course with all the modern technology and pure dedication, I've come to realize that this is indeed possible! These orchids are beautiful and I definitely want others to share in their beauty.

Orchid of the day: Cattleya mossiae var. semi-alba

Cattleya mossiae var. semi-alba

Our six year old Cattleya mossiae var. semi-alba has produced three flowers for the first time. There is a very pleasant rose scented fragrance. This orchid is native to Venezuela. I have written more about this orchid in my post from June 2, 2014. Click here.

A) Three beautiful flowers on May 29th, 2017. I must point out the flower is ~7.5 inches from top to bottom and 6.0 inches wide. Bigger than the palm of my hands, for sure!
