Pink Triple Treat

An orchid farmer once told me that fragrant catleyas bear flowers once a year only. But I will make an exception with this pink orchid beauty I bought from a local weekend market three years ago. It blooms three times a year when carefully taken care of and its flowers would last for three weeks. Hopefully, it will bear flowers again at the onset of the next rainy season.
