There are stories of whole Cattleya blooms taped into place.....
I read of growers taping buds in a cluster into formation so that the blooms will eventually have the proper distance from each other. And so on!
When I take a picture of a Cattleya with the dorsal bent back, I gently move it straight up and quickly snap my pictures, in case it flips back. Many times it stays in place.
Some stuff here - the Ascocentrum garayi glows in late afternoon sun
The miniature Pleurothallis mathildae is developing a bunch of spikes
Dendrobium distichum doesn't get as huge as Den anceps and every tip is loaded with tiny blooms.
And I am glad to see my Cattleya schilleriana blooming
I am torn between posting the Bletilla striata into this thread as some plants are starting to bloom or I into the anticipation thread.
