Indoors, the last of the orchids I ordered last year from Sunset Valley Orchids<\/a> has bloomed. It’s a hybrid of the “blue” forms of two Cattleya<\/em> species, “C. mossiae f. coerulea<\/em> ‘Blue Moon’ x L. sincorana f. coerulea<\/em> ‘Dark Blue.'”<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Orchid specialists must use an eccentric definition of “blue,” because I see pale lavender and purple, not blue.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The flower is large (though smaller than the pure C. mossiae<\/em>); if the petals lay flat, it would be six inches across.<\/p>\n

Update: Now in stereo.<\/p>\n
