About a decade or so ago, I bought five tiny Laelia-Cattelya orchid plants from Lowe's discount bin. They were near death's door, but their roots and leaves didn't have rot, just a bad case of dehydration, so why not? I put them with the rest of my orchids and waited to see what happened. Well, as luck would have it three of them quickly revived and have thrived, forcing me to split them into a total of nine pots. Here's one them (and my favorite) called "Lc. Tropical Pointer Spot". It blooms 2-3 times a year, with 3-5 blossoms that are ca. two inches point to point on each flower stalk. All three photos were focus stacked using PS or Zerene, and processed in PS and LR.
