very nice specimen Nobilior

[@SVKLOrchids]

Thanks!

[@deachen6023]

Beautiful Catt. and TY for letting us see it in natural light. Putting pot in pot is a great idea. I have no problem dividing but always thought it set back the plant for awhile, at least for me. Happy New Year. 🌺

[@SVKLOrchids]

Yes, chopping definitely sets a plant back a bit! That's why I only like to cut when they become unruly.

[@dannisorchidjourney]

Beautiful! 😍 not so patiently waiting for mine to bloom.

[@SVKLOrchids]

I do love the anticipation!

Thank you sir.

Now that I've successfully bloomed C. walkeriana .... I *WANT* a C. nobilior :) that lip is so Beautiful.

[@SVKLOrchids]

It's one of my favorites! The lip on this one isn't even very nice compared to some of the amaliae! They can be absolutely stunning.

[@TropiChic]

So tipo means typical. Always wondered what it means.

[@SVKLOrchids]

Well, it’s more like type, which refers to the first color variety described. As you can imagine, it’s the typical or most common wild color type. However, there are a few where the type is a less common variety!

[@michaelbrown4567]

Good job with that huge nobilior. Is there a difference in fragrance, that you can detect between walkeriana and nobilior?

[@SVKLOrchids]

Yes, there definitely a difference. The nobilior is pleasant, but smells like a typical Cattleya. The walkeriana is intensely powerful and very strong with anise. It’s my favorite scented orchid!

[@sosalish441]

Does it freeze in Austin every year?

[@SVKLOrchids]

Yes, we get hard freezes most years. I think we didn't get one two years ago, but that's rare. We'll usually get a few days and nights in the mid to low 20's.

Hi Steve, I need to consult your opinion. I have been growing a nobilior for six years, and it has been attacked by spidermites multiple times. After several treatment but the spidermite episode recurs from time to time, the last growth I had last year was a stronger one, but the leaf ended up dropping off due also to spidermites. But when I inspected my plants this morning and I found that the nobilior has grown a spike with 4 buds. The spike is growing towards the window glass now. I remember you once mentioned that moving a budding nobilior should be avoided as the buds may blast as a result. I would like to ask until when should I move the plant (the buds are now peanut-size). And a root of it has grown into its neighbor's pot, is it ok to cut a root in order to re-orientate the plant? Many many thanks in advance for your kind advice :)

[@SVKLOrchids]

I’m happy you got some buds! Can you just pull the plant back from the window such that the orientation to the sun remains the same?

[@BC-fh3jt]

@@SVKLOrchids Thx, Steve! I will try, or can I use wire to train the spike to grow a bit back? But I will try to first move it back a bit to see if there is enough space for the spike 😊

[@SVKLOrchids]

@@BC-fh3jt I don’t like to train spikes. I end up snapping them off! lol

[@NinjaOrchids]

Saw a bloom peeking out from the back of the shelf when you pointed at it... and then outside 😅 it is massive and beautiful 😍

[@SVKLOrchids]

Thank you! Gonna be tough to chop it up!
