Divide and Conquer

This orchid is part of the Cattleya family also known as LAELIOCATTLEYA but smaller.  The plant grew quite large, roots out of the pot so Jim divided into 7 plants.  One has re-bloomed, the other had a bloom but died, (much to my sorrow - as I hate losing any orchids).  Another has a bloom coming, not quite sure of the rest.  Hopefully they will all recover as re-potting orchids is touch and go - we are novices, so just winging it.
I shall make every effort to decorate with the orchids for Christmas.  Saying that I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.
