I was very excited to receive my beautiful cattleya Crystelle Smith ‘NR’. She is mature and has flowered a few times before, judging by the canes. She has 4 well developed pseudobulbs, the immature ones are not there, which is fine. She used to have a lovely root system which got absolutely demolished while traveling in wet sphagnum moss, I have had to remove every last root when she arrived as they had all rotted away entirely. However I have set her up in a little ICU and she is already trying to grow a tiny new little root nub. She has one new growth half-developed (it’s the one trying to make a root) and one other tiny one that is just starting out. One leaf has some mechanical damage but overall I believe she will make a recovery and am very happy with her.
