Even more great news - and on time for #freshleaffriday too:
My Fighting Kate (my most vigorous cattleya (species) seedling) is growing herself a new pseudobulb. I am pretty certain she only does that once a year, and apparently she survived this difficult time acclimating to my apartment and her repot without any major setback and root loss - which is a marvel, especially since she is still this tiny. I am absolutely psyched 🥳🌿🥳 you go, girl!!! 🥳🌿🥳
Now only to keep the mites away from her... 😬 #plantsmakepeoplehappy #orchidlovers

@Chevysgirl11 yep very well. the one cattleya baby giving me no issues at all. But, to be fair, as of yet I haven't made any major mistakes with her as of yet, ... as I might have done with the others 😀
@FlashyCosmo, thank you so much. That bloom was not grown by me, however, since it came in bud from the nursery. Only in the way that I managed to save those two buds from bud blast, which I do take credit for, though 😀 .
I loved that I get to enjoy those blooms, though, since I fear I might at some point have your problem as well. It's just too 🤬 dark overcast where I live and my window placements are not ideal.

@wolfwoman what? No. Sorry, though I appreciate the help. It's a cattleya type orchid. Unlike phals that only have one stem and on which something like this would be a new plant, that is just the way they grow: basically stem (pseudobulb) after stem, after stem, connected by a rhyzome. Which makes it even more beautiful though. It means it is feeling okay and is growing bigger and stronger, so that in some years it finally will grow it's first beautiful flowers. Hopefully. If I don't kill it first 😀
Awesome sauce!
