FIRST TIME EVER seeing this crazy Cattleya in bloom. I discovered and patiently (not so patiently) watched the bizarre little alien pod looking buds begin to form for the past month. I got it as a seedling 3 years ago, and worried I set it back last year when I repotted. The roots have almost filled up the giant pot I have it in. It’s growing about SIX new pseudobulbs, and it’s clearly mature enough to bloom so I’m hoping the future brings multiple flower spikes at the same time with all those new growths. Such an interesting orchid. 😍
