VERY nice, Paul!

One of mine from HD is blooming for the first time. Just bought it 3 weeks ago:

Brassocattleya Yellow Bird

Many of this batch will bloom this year or next, though expect a couple of years needed to achieve a big multispike show. This cross tends to produce two good crops of long lasting flowers every year. While young, there may be just a couple blooms to the spike, but as plants get older, they can produce 7 or more as illustrated in our main photo. The color may start out pale or reddish, but within about 14 days, they are vibrant, sunny yellow. Most have quite a few red freckles on the lip, but the density and size varies with each individual plant.
