Blooming now (2009-10-31)


Happy Halloween. This orchid, Cattleya Arctic Star 'Snow Queen', bloomed almost a week ago, but I'm just now blogging about it. This orchid is flowering strongly and there are five flowers on the single spike. There were a total of six buds, but one of them blasted off before fully forming. The flowers opened slightly flushed with pink, which has faded now that it's been open for a week. This is another good Cattleya-type orchid for outdoor growing.
