Inspired by Wes’ submission of his Paphiopedilum, Karla decided to share with us her Blc. Color Magic ‘Mendenhall’ AM/AOS.  She grows this big “floofy” Cattleya in the west-facing bay window in her dining room.

Karla tells us:

The blooms on this orchid are so perfect and pretty, they almost don’t look real.

The sun peeked through the clouds last evening, so I set the orchid outside in my annual bed to get a few pictures in the good light.

Beautiful presentation
Karla’s master gardener’s touch and her artist’s eye come together nicely in that last photo, don’t they?  I really want to know if that beautiful Cattleya is fragrant, but I bet it was hard to tell next to that well-grown scented geranium!  Thank you for sharing, Karla!
