Mounted C. forbesii

YAY!!! All three pieces of Cattleya forbesii are finally starting to show some growth!

Here is the one piece that started growing as soon as it was mounted, and it has a total of four roots on it that are happily trailing along the cork.

Here is the smaller three p'bulb division that is working on one new root, and I think a new growth too.

And finally, the largest of the three pieces, which took the longest to do anything. There is two roots that I can clearly see in this picture, and there is a total of six new root-tips, and I am hoping for a couple others.

I am excited for the roots to grow and attach themselves everywhere, because I really want to get rid of the dumb looking white thread.

   Yet another awesome plant I bought from Cloud's Orchids. This was an incredibly large plant for one listed as a small seedling. Since it was working on a bunch of new roots, I decided to divide it into three pieces. I was going to mount two and pot the smallest piece, but I decided not to at the last minute. Hope to see this baby bloom soon!
