Great job Doug, beautiful plants. I know whereof you speak - I almost pulled a new growth off my Cattleya!

Absolutely spectacular dvg! Best of luck growing these guys from seeds, they're obviously in good hands.

A few more flower pics from today... It was -2C outside today when i took these pics, but Darlingtonia can handle the cooler temps quite well. I tried to show the petal openings that this plant presents to its potential pollinators. And a shot from above. I'll attempt pollination on this flower tomorrow and then hit it a couple more times to ensure a good seed set. dvg
