Ah ha! I wonder if my Lc. that is making funny twisted leaves needs more light? It's made a few sheaths, but has only managed to bloom once. I'll post a picture of it in the morning and let you see what I mean.
Is it more Laelia influence, and less Cattleya that makes them need, and tolerate more sun I wonder?
That Royal Flare sure is a gorgeous color combo.
This big purple floofer is lasting really well, and smells absolutely delicious. So far the raccoons have not come in for a taste of it, happily. Blc. Mem. Hans Graf x Blc. Edisto
