Orchid of the day: Cattleya Trick or Treat

Cattleya Trick or Treat



A) On October 16, five brightly coloured flowers were already in full bloom.

I posted about this orchid on November 29, 2015. Each flower can remain in bloom for more than six weeks if not longer. We are seeing the same this time around. I love this orchid because of the bright and vivid orange colour. Not only that, the entire plant, including the flower stem can reach up to 2 feet high. Which makes finding a spot for it in the house quite a challenge!


B) Today we have six flower in full bloom and four buds (to the upper right).

C) The entire plant on our back deck.

D) A closer look of the flower buds. So it looks like we will have ten flowers from our Trick or Treat this time.

I have been waiting to have all ten flowers in full bloom before posting but it is likely some of the 'older' flowers will wilt. Maybe next time, they (the flowers) will time each other better! Well, I hope this post makes you happy. Have a good work week until next time!
