Thank you! It was a pick up from Ruben and it has already bloomed twice in the past 5 months or so! I love both hybrids! Trusty bloomers that flower all the time for me! :)
Hello Bryan, Your plants look very healthy. Bravo. The variegated Cattleya is amazing. I had seen variegated Phalaenopsis but didn't know variegated Cattleya exist.
Haha that’s a great question! It came with the Laelia I bought at Emerald City Orchids. It’s hollow so it is a great natural “pot” for orchids that like good airflow. I would recommend reaching out to Emerald City Orchids. I’m sure they sell them! :)
great flowers. You have some very nice ones. I've never seen a variegated catt before. I do see some mite damage on it but you might want to ignore me on that opinion. It's the kind of opinion that got me banned from missorchidgirl's channel for example - she does have a very trigger happy finger. Some people prefer to just not hear about these things. And they are so small it's practically impossible to eliminate them. Then there's the people that would say rubbish, it looks super healthy. So yeah take it all with a pinch of salt, I am super OCD. If you are curious to confirm it, pretty much the only way to spot mites is to inspect the plants in the middle of the night when the lights are off with a flashlight. The mites hate the light and during the day they will hide inside the pots so you will never see them. They are also ridiculously tiny sort of the size of fleas so very very hard to spot them and even if you spot them it takes months to get rid of them so its not a popular thing for people to hear about and would rather just not hear about it. Still as an indoor grower I wish someone had told me early on. So I don't know how you will take it but if you are curious in any way or form, inspect the plant, but particularly the roots in the middle of the night. Shine a flashlight on them and blow on the roots gently to see if you can spot anything moving. It's ironic when outdoor growers say that they are envious of indoor growers cause we don't get pests but indoor plants don't get rained on (and flushed regularly) and indoors the conditions for breeding are ideal leading to big outbreaks I have had to deal with. The subtle signs the plants show - which is why I am mentioning it - are signs nobody ever talks about and act like they are completely normal. But saying any of this never makes me very popular so I shouldn't really be saying it. Still, like I mentioned I wish someone had when I was showing my mite infested plants online and everyone always just said "wonderful" Good luck with the digbyana. Yours looks really good. I've been trying to get mine to flower with no luck yet, definetely harder than an SVO hybrid. Yours looks really good but it also still looks a little small. Mine is much taller and still hasn't flowered for me. By the way you need to get some more angraecums. The rutenbergianum has a really unique fragrance to it. It reminded me of fresh peppers when I first smelt it. Sort of a musky peppery fragrance, like a spice cupboard smell but with an undertone of floral notes too so like a spice cupboard but much more alluring. It's a unique fragrance for sure but really pleasant to smell it. Still waiting to smell my didierii here. No luck on that one yet so can't compare them yet. Looking forward to your july blooms.
Thank you Tom! I love angraecums! Angraecum aloefolium and Angraecum urchianum are both on my short list! It did have some mite damage but the grower had treated them for a few months and finally cleared it! Pests like mites and mealy bugs are such a pain! Haha thank you for comment and for watching, Tom!
I’ve only had it for about 2 months and it grows pretty standard for Cattleya hybrids. No issues with growths or leaves. Apparently it blooms a few times per year but this plant bloomed out in late spring.
Such gorgeous blooms!!! Amazing collection you have! Love the phragmipediums and Masdevallias!! Amazing!
@@emmanuelV37 thank you so much! I’m so glad you like the collection! :)
🤤Rlc. Spotted Sunset is GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to own a Rustic Spots / loved the color change from yellow to cinnamon.

This was the first time I’ve seen a variegated cattleya too! Snagged this guy from Waldor Orchids! They are definitely hard to come by!
So many gorgeous blooms. The Aerangis punctata is going to look spectacular! I've never seen one with so many buds.
@@annavoeggia816 I’m so excited for it too! Fingers crossed they all open for me!
Hi Bryan😌🙌I love your orchids🥰They are well grown
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them!! :)
What is that cool piece of wooden log/pot that you have the laelia in?! It’s so neat!

@@OrchidsByBryan ah thats good news mate and yes you are so right. It's good he cleared it. Take care.
Cool variegated cattleya! How long have you had it?? Any issue with the growths or leaves??
