Husky Boy Romeo

Reminds me of a daffodil (my favorite spring flower) crossed with a gladiolus, but it’s a cattleya orchid (BLC Husky Boy Romeo if you want to get all specific.).  Like my beloved daffodil & gladiolus, this orchid only blooms one a year. Luckily, the flower lasts at least a month on this type of orchid.

Pulling from my days of working as a floral designer, cattleya orchids are very popular for corsages around this time of year. You see them everywhere for sale; especially around Mother’s Day.

OK, flower nerd moment over. For now…
