Friday Orchid Blogging

Blc. Fuchs Orange Nugget x Blc. Dan O'Neil



This is one I got a bit over a year ago from some dear friends in Florida who are professional growers. It's a member of the cattleya family, and its flowers stay around for a good month, and get darker and darker orange over time. They also have a citrus fragrance that I'm way allergic to, so I sniff and then run and get an allergy pill. Like all catts, it likes lots of sunlight, though you can burn it, as I found out this past August. This one is on loan to mom for now - she got upset that all I had so many orchids and wasn't sharing. Enjoy.
