Just thought I'd post a pic of my Lc. Gold Digger 'Orchid Jungle' in bloom.

Oh, nice pictures. My golddigger has two sheaths and I just noticed that they both have swellings at their bases. Your picture reminds me of whats to come. One of my favorites.

Very beautiful!

Oh Tobi, nice little pot o' gold you got there.

Tobi, I see Cattleyas and feel cheated....

This one (and all of yours) is once again, breath-taking.

I transferred all of my Catts (about 14) except for a few small ones, to the palm tree on the front lawn, in the front of my house and so far, so good. So, I guess the better news is I have that much more space to fill up!!! where I have all my other orchids.

I always love seeing what you're growing. They're always sensational.

I just love Catt,s
awesome pic Tobi
maybe one for the comp ?

Thanks all. I originally had 3 inflorescences on the plant. One broke off before the buds
formed and the other (higher on the plant you can't see) had 5 buds, but 4 blasted on
me cuz I had them too close to the window exposed to the cold. Maybe next year I'll
have 4-5 inflorescences with 4-5 buds on each. It's reaching specimen size and I can't
wait.

Sandra - Best of luck with your new location for your Catts. I would like nothing better
than to have them thrive for you being such a Catt. lover.

Gold Digger is a fantastic cross and this clone is the best I've seen. I first saw this clone about 6 years ago at a show in Michigan. The clarity and clean seperationof the colours between the lip and the rest fo the flowers is really really eyecatching. It's a sweet plant and it looks like you're doing really well by it. Keep up the good work. I predict in another 2-3 years you'll be posting a pic of it with 5 times as many flowers!

Thanks Tobi. I know you're always rallying for my success with them and that means a lot to me.

Wow, Tobi! I love that orchid! Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try something other than a Phal.
