ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
CATTLEYA TRIAN® is one of most beautiful Orchids now flowering in our 
collections, and fortunate are they who are outside the fog area, for they 
alone see the plant at .its best. Round London, for example,. one rarely 
sees the plant in perfection, and during the present season, when fogs have 
not been prevalent, we have seen quite a number of flowers all of which 
had the sepals more or less damaged towards the apex. The petals and lip 
were perfect, and the reason is that they are inside until the flower opens, 
and thus are protected from the action of the deleterious gases which 
abound in the neighbourhood of large towns and manufacturing districts at 
this season, while the sepals are exposed to their influence from the nioment 
they excape from the sheath. The results we are all too familiar with, and it 
is a pleasure to see a good collection of these plants flowering in the pure 
air, with the flowers perfect throughout. It is marvellous how great is the 
amount of variation seen in a good collection. 
Four very beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of F. G. Scott, 
Esq., Preston, North Shields, by Mr. Knight. One very fine flower has 
deep blush pink sepals and petals of perfect shape, and a much expanded, 
very richly coloured lip, with the usual deep yellow throat. A second is 
smaller, with the lip about typical, but the inner halves of the lateral sepals 
are deep yellow like the throat of the lip and somewhat infolded at the 
Margin. This is the character of the variety Vanneriana. A third distinct 
form has the sepals unusually broad, and, with the petals, deep blush pink, 
and the lip rich purple crimson, with the disc entirely veined with white 
and purple, and the yellow suppressed. A fourth is blush white, with a 
small area at the apex of the lip purple, and the side lobes suffused with 
pink, 
Three good, richly coloured forms are also sent from the collection of 
Joseph Broome, Esq., Sunny Hill, Llandudno, the finest being from a plant 
bearing eleven flowers. Mr. Broome remarks that there is nothing special 
inthe treatment given, though they show the effect of the pure air and 
Sunshine of the district; also that for high winds, cold, and snow this 
winter has been the most unfavourable he has experienced during the ten 
of his sojourn there. 
The most remarkable form comes from the collection of Messrs. Hugh 
Low & Co., Bush Hill Park. The lip is very broad and expanded, and the
