Default Cattleya Heathii -Just Opening Part II

I feel your pain, Marianne. I've been taking extra special good care of my
orchids all year and while I see great roots and new growths they have yet
to translate into blooms, and when the blooms *do* come the stalks are so
short they barely make it out of the sheath. Too much light? Not enough
micronutrients in my water? Who knows? But its getting me down, too. I
have a very nice Pot. David Streeter coming into bloom that I put under the
bench into more shade in the hopes of elongating the stem... we'll see.

Anyway, I thought I'd tell you you're not alone.

Wendy,

Kudos, another great series of magnificent orchids. You lady have the
magic touch.

Hope that you don't mind that I'm considering donating my collection to
you in about one season.

Despite the fact that I keep moving mine in the hopes of getting them to
bloom, very few have for two seasons now. My frustration is growing and I
know that you'll do well by them . I'm going to give them one more
season to bloom and if they don't, to you they go

-Mariana

Just amazing changes after 2 days. It doesn't look like the same plant.
Check previous post.
Cheers Wendy
