Cattleya

Out of the blue i was told to go look for a cattleya blue to gift on a birthday.  What the hell is cattleya?  hahahahaa googled first before i went my way.  It's supposed to be somewhere in San Dionisio barangay Granada, Bacolod City.  We had to do 3 u-turns and a few stops to ask where we can find it.  Finally found it just along the highway.  How could we have been so blind to missed it? ;)  But then quite small entrance they have.  The place we were looking for was Rosario but the sign on the gate states otherwise.  Yun pala shortcut ng del Rosario na apelyido ng may-ari.ü

about to bloom


This is the widest orchid garden i've ever seen this lifetime.  I was so excited going around and checking it out.  Cattleyas supposed to bloom throughout the year but we have had to look harder before we found one that is in full bloom.  It would have been a different view when every pot was with flowers.;)

It's worth going back there next chance for someone's birthday to gift.
