This cattleya orchid is about 8 years old and has only bloomed once before a few years ago. It was Home depot special.
Welcome to blooming Friday! The frangipani is beginning to bloom, the bougainvillea a drought lover is in its glory. For more blooming Friday please take a stroll over to Katarina from roses and stuff. Have a great weekend my friends!
What lovely flowers you have today. I like this colour combo of your cattleya. I want your frangipani to wear on my hair.
ReplyDeleteI love your colorful blooms! A joy to see when one is blue and surrounded by snow showers. Lovely!! ;>)
ReplyDeleteAhh, Home depot specials. I have a couple of encyclia hybrids from Home depot bags that I leave out except for hard freezes... best orchids EVER!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful pictures! Sitting here in a college dormitory in cold and rainy New England they make me quite jealous.
ReplyDeletefrangipani is gorgeous...i second autumn. I want to wear it too...
ReplyDeleteOrchids are extraordinary plant! They like to surprise us with their blooms. Btw, that's a beautiful cattleya. Hope it stay longer for you to enjoy the flower :-D
ReplyDeleteYou mean to say frangipani is not flowering all year round in your area? But here it does, and because its habit is like that, we should be guilty we forgot all about it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those flowers are just too gorgeous. I love them all but I gotta say you lucked out on the Home Depot purchase!
ReplyDeleteAutumn Belle....remember which side you must wear them on to tell the world that you are already taken LOL.
ReplyDeleteCarol.....I do hope that spring comes along asap for you.
