The blooms are so beautiful, what's the name ?

I think it's Harvest.

I think that it's Optimara Millenia ...

Optimara Millenia

What a nice head of blooms aegis! Is there a secret to getting AV's to bloom all at once? Like, right before a show for example? (Not that I grow for show, but maybe one day I hope to.)

Harvest refers to all the successful rootings. I am sorry for the confusion.

This is not an Optimara. There is only a slight color difference and this one is semi-doubled. I will check what the name is. Nevertheless, yours looks just as wonderful!

Milllenia blooms very well.

Just keep it watered, fed, and well-lighted.

Others disbud their plants up to the point that they want bloom, and, thereby, get a lot of bloom at once (i.e. for a show).

I think reading this forum causes my plants to bloom
like mad ... the older ones are doing much
better than they ever have. I moved into a new
environment a few months ago. They must like it a
lot. Or else, it is bloom time of year where I live.
