Cattleya rex 'Nina' has got 14 flowers and buds this year, and about half of them are bloomed out. Really a nice showing from this large plant.

14 July 2024 • Cattleya rex in bloom Several unique flowers are in bloom, and a new (and slightly disappointing) batch of seedlings have arrived.

7 July 2024 • What's in bloom and bud • New seedlings After three weeks away, the collection is looking just fine, with several plants in bud or bloom, as well as some new and unexpected spikes!

4 July 2024 • Collection after 3 weeks away, some blooms and surprises I'm heading out of the country for a few weeks, so moisture-loving plants must be set in water dishes, and the misting system has to be set to keep everything watered. And of course, some flowers will bloom and fade while I'm away, without me getting to see them 🙁

15 June 2024 • Preparing the collection for three weeks away I set up my collection to survive without me for a week. Let's see how it did!

10 June 2024 • Collection inspection after one week away Warm temperatures, high humidity, frequent watering, ample sunlight...it's summer in the tent! Everything is growing well. Now, the challenge is to keep night temperatures sufficiently cool for those high-elevation species.
