Mounted cattleyas

I was repotting my catts and decided to make it more interesting:



Smaller one on the left is laelia alaorii - miniature cattleya with bell shape flower. O the right - laelia sincorana var. coerulea. I already tried to mount cats on this wood, but it was before tanks and didn't work in too dry house conditions. Hope it works this time.

I think it looks cute.

Laelia sincorana var. coerulea


My little plant of Laelia sincorana var. coerulea is still alive. It finished growing two new pseudobulbs started in September and now I discovered yet one more start:



Looking through the pictures on the web, it seems that my plant is not very far from blooming size.
I placed it into orchid tank hoping that bright, warm and humid conitions will help it to grow faster.

Laelia sincorana update


This little plant - Laelia sincorana var. coerulea - looked so fragile when I took it off the mount to pot up. Right after that - two newest pseudobulbs came off for some reason.
I thought plant was doomed.
Couple weeks went by and here is what it's growing now:



A new pseudobulb!
The whole plant is still small, smaller than when it came, because of two lost bulbs, but this new growth is quite encouraging, new roots should come soon too.

Laelia sincorana var. coerulea

This little cutie came a while ago mounted on a square piece of wood and it is bloom size plant.
Laelia sincorana is a dwarf species with huge (comparing to the plant size) flower. I looked up the coerulea blooms - they are gorgeous!



I have potted it into chc to encourage some root growths. I might mount it after, when there is more roots on the plant.
