After a week up in the tundra, the OC had some treats for me.

This is Guarianthe [Gur.] deckeri which was a species Cattleya the last time I posted her flowers. A wonderful plant in full bloom.

This Bsn. Maikai 'Louise' (B. nodosa x Gur. bowringiana) looks like a ribbon winner. If she only holds on until Tuesday, I'll find out.

My other Maikai, sans the 'Louise', isn't too far behind.
