Growing Orchids can be very rewarding. These are my two favorite cattleya orchids. In fact, a local artist used the top photo to paint the image on the hood pad of my Corvette. I joined BROS in 2016 and knew nothing about orchids. I found that with some orchid research and patience I was able to grow and bloom these plants in Baton Rouge. Must admit I lost my fair share of plants along the educational path but when you finally put the cultural pieces together it can be very rewarding. Jim Morrison BROS.
