Laelia (Cattleya) fidelensis

From bud to bloom ... one of my favorite flowering series of photographs of an orchid.  Laelia (Cattleya) fidelensis is rather uncommon in cultivation.  Its name comes from the place where it was first discovered: the Sao Fidelis mountains near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.  That being said, the more … [Read more...] about Cattleya (Laelia) fidelensis

Another of the orchid gems that my husband convinced me to bring home ... and I am very pleased that we did.  This Cattleya (Laelia) jongheana was available at the sale of an orchid collection, and it was clearly a victim of the common problem with this group of Brazilian Laelia -- being potted in … [Read more...] about Cattleya (Laelia) jongheana
