cattleya

another one of a few orchid I have that not only survived after the first bloom, but started blooming again.
It was standing by a single-glazed window, ie it was quite cold, what with the weather we had this winter. it took almost two months for the plant to grow the buds to what I though was a goodish size.
yesterday I took it off the windowsill and put it on the table in the middle of a warm room, and it *almost* opened overnight, only two petals are still stuck together. maybe it was just a good timing, or course, but I am inclined to think it decided that warm season is finally here :)
