    Good morning, this morning on our verandah, is this lovely cattleya, very frilly and the perfume is filling the area.It loves the heat and it was 80f when we were having breakfast.
    I can not imagine 2ft of snow when I sit next to this.

    What gorgeous flowers your cattleya has. I wish we had scratch and sniff on our computers as I'd love to inhale its scent. :-D

    You are so lucky and talented to have/grow such a fantastic orchid! And it has a scent also! How wonderful!

    I 've always wanted a pink orchid. My little orange one finally bloomed again, but it has no scent.

    Jewell... I love that orange! I may have to give orchids another try since I have the space now.

    Thank you everyone for the kind remarks, orchids are very satisfying if you put the time in to their growth.
    Jewell, that is a nice clear orange bloom, I try to keep to the pinks, something about 'pink' orchids.
