Continuation of the previous post:
You are all very familiar with these orchid type. Even if the main color is the same they usually differ in the color and shape of their lips.
If you will enlarge the above white, there is a caterpillar happily enjoying itself at the pollen cap
They are also used in flower arrangements, which make a leaf bundle look so special (above)!
...and the bamboo pieces (above) look so elegant!

You have a wide variety of gorgeous catleyas in this post. I didn't know caterpillars love orchids too. I am dreaming about my catleya and wondering when it will flower again. It seems to be growing new babies now.
ReplyDeleteI don't grow these beauties - I just admire everyone elses as I don't think I can give them the right conditions in my home for them to rebloom. I liked those ones displayed in the bamboo's - the yellow one looks quite like a cymbidium.
ReplyDelete(btw my site now loads faster than ever so you shouldn't be kept waiting too long from now on) I was thinking about you this weekend :) Rosie

ReplyDeleteThe orchids are beautiful, Andrea. The bamboo pieces look very nice with the orchids.
ReplyDeleteoh, my mother would go crazy at these gorgeous orchids!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures you posted here. I'm still trying to make my orchids bloom - its almost a year now in waiting.
ReplyDeleteThose bamboos filled with orchids is really a good idea! I love that flower arrangement of the purple catleya also :-D Thanks for posting lovely pictures of these orchids.
ReplyDeleteA very nice collection of orchids. I like the way the orchids are displayed on the bamboos. The bamboo accentuates the beauty of the orchids. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauties.... Thank you very much for showing them off
ReplyDeleteLovely orchids! Such nice the last one! :)
ReplyDeletealoha andrea,
ReplyDeletewow what a show, i also love cattleyas...they are so affordable here so why not, theres some beauties that you have photographed to show us, thanks for sharing
I am so not familiar with orchids so please keep showing them:) The fringed ones are very pretty. They look almost like irises-the closest thing I can relate to. Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour orchids are AWESOME, Andrea. We don't have them here much... I did have a friend whose mother grew some kind of orchids in her sunroom (inside the house). They were pretty but NEVER as pretty as yours... SO gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing so many different colors and varieties.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I haven't seen orchid blooms for a long time. What bright and pretty colors they have.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone for patronizing my posts, and also those who dropped by once-in-a-while. Most of you appreciated the arrangements using bamboos, yes i liked that too, so even if they are not Catleya i added it.
ReplyDeleteYes Rosie, the middle is Cymbidium, and around it maybe Mokara.
I especially liked the bamboo as well - a very exotic look!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous! So glad you shared this!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! nice photo of the cute little caterpillar
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea! Thanks for visiting. To answer your Q: Heaven is in a secret place in Laguna. Btw, I was once invited at DTI's intellectual property conference for visual arts. Is that where you work?
ReplyDeleteThese orchids were just what I needed to cheer me up today!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finale! ;>)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchids and such wonderful color, Andrea. Regretfully, we could only grow them inside. You are fortunate.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, thank you for posting these gorgeous pictures. All the orchids are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeletewith those cut bamboo, it looks so good.
