here is my first ever Cattleya orchid,i got it for a few months now, since early October. i have been meaning to make a thread about getting this plant, but i hadnt been able to do so for a while, 'cause i have been busy with loads of school stuff. anyways, i got him from my local Lowes, the same place where i got these guyshttp://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?132162-Double-Dormant-Deathcube-Rescue
he is a small little plant, not yet flowering size. i think it will be about 2-3 years before i get blooms, if he likes the windowsill, that is. i think that he will be just fine there, he seems to like it so far. no new leaves yet, but he has been busy producing several new roots, so i think he is starting to settle in.
unwrapping him:
his tag says he is a Brassolaeliocattleya Cherise Nishioka 'Waiakea'
here is what it showed the blossom is supposed to look like when he flowers. looks pretty awesome to me!
