Saw this lovely Rhyncholaeliocattleya Graf's Yokoima (Rhyncholaeliocattleya Mem. Helen Brown × Laelia superbiens) at the Tiny Jungle yesterday. I’m planning on heading back for more pollen. #orchid #orchids #photography #nature #flower #bluesky #houseplants

My friend from the Tiny Jungle, just got this beautiful Cattleya Aurora for me. It’s an older cross (1905) between Cattleya dowiana X Cattleya luteola. I’ll have to see if I can up the flower count with its progeny. #orchid #orchids #photography #nature #flower #bluesky #houseplants
