| My Blc. Eagle Eye 'All Victory' has two buds YAY :I cant believe it. I think I am doing something right.  My Cattleya has two buds.  Now for the questions. How long will it take for the buds to open? I had it outside but I brought it in once I noticed the buds. I also have another cattleya which had a bud and a bug ate it. I WAS SO MAD LOL.  So I did not want to take any chances. I CANT WAIT

 Hi Sunsea, I had to reply to this thread ! Well Done !  I too have a Blc.Eagle eye."All Victory" which I got in July 2006 with one sheath - when it opened it only had one flower - & you could see a very small black bud, which hadn't developed next to it) and at the moment is in sheath again..and looking through with a torch I also have 2 flower buds this time! I'm very Happy I love the flower & scent of this!  |

| In the photo you can see the bud developing behind the sheath. Not all Catts will produce a sheath, or so I'm told. Some just produce the spikes from the leaves. Jay |

Thanks for clarifying that. I actually have a cattleya that is outside and it has a leaf that looks like a sheath. Its a small cattleya but I have no idea what type it is. I currently have 4 cattleyas. One of my favorite orchids besides phalaenopsis.

| All of the cattleyas were given to me by my dads friend who had a green house. TONS OF ORCHIDS AND ORCHID SPECIES. So they were given to me in bad condition. Now they are healthy and actually flowering for me.

| Congrats Sea Sun. Try not to move or rotate the plant in its current location. Granted if you move it to water, place it back in the same location and position that it was. Since you changed it's environment by bringing it inside, I would try not to disturb it's location now while in bud. Sometimes they can be a little tempermental about being moved while in bud and the buds can blast. (turn black and die before blooming). This is always not the case, but it can happen if the plant is moved or turned too much. The sheaths are the leaf-like material in the center of the growth that protects the buds as they form. Can't wait to see the blooms. Good growing!! |
