Cattleya jenmanii alba

Cattleya is rare in my greenhouse and even more rare if flower. This compact plant given to me by a friend flower to me for a first time since 2009. I got actually 2 divisions of it and one I gave to a friend mother , with no experience in orchids, windowsill in Poland she flower once or twice a year most likely for 4 years already! And has 2 times bigger plant than I do now. Well it only proves that not every kind of orchids can be grown in every place... but I will never learn.

 

thank you, the owner of mother plant collect mostly only Cattleyas and he rather collects chosen clones, so I may have a luck to get some nice things, just a shame I can't make them better home yet.
