Blooming Cattleya

Hi all!
I bought this cattleya early this spring at a Home Depot, one of the bettergro bag babies. It was outside in full sun all summer long here in Pennsylvania, only got watered when it rained (except maybe two or three times during a dry spell), and I only fertilized it once. It's put on 4 new pb's and now it's sending up a bloom spike, I'm very excited to see what the blooms are like!

Not as colorful as I’d hoped but I have a soft spot for green/yellow flowers. Overall I’m satisfied
