We were thankful for a few bursts of color and signs of life this past month. One of this month’s bloomers had not bloomed in at least 4 years! It’s a Brassocattleya & Dialaelia hybrid from McClaren’s in downtown SF and it was budding and on sale at the time we bought it, if I recall correctly. It’s bursting out of its pot, but I’ve been reluctant to re-pot it since so many others that we’ve re-potted have yet to re-bloom… Anyway, surprisingly we still have the tag for it: Bc. Maikai ‘Improved’ x Dial. Snowflake – Bc. Richard Mueller ‘Iridium’. I assume the last name is this hybrid’s name, but I couldn’t find anything like it online, so who knows.
The other winter bloomers are Dendrobium Mingle’s Sapphire which has two small clusters of blooms and Dendrobium Rigidum.
