On the left is a species, Cattleya skinneri. The smaller orchid is Slc ‘Jewel Box-Scheherazade’.
NOTE: Skinneri is no longer with us. He was left outside in the cold when he failed to bloom in 2010. Harsh, but the space was needed for more worthy residents.
Yowza. These are really something! I think I like ‘Fancy Cherry’ best. Orchids kind of scare me in several ways – they seem hard to grow (are they??) and also they look like they could attack you if your back was turned.
I’m sure you treat yours so well, they would never think of it, though.

Serious orchid envy here Frances. These are all stunning. I’m desperately fighting the addiction I feel coming on….
Don’t know why I was surprised to see some Cattleya’s??? I keep thinking of you solely raising the Paphs!
