I bought this as a "blooming sized" plant three years ago. This is its first time blooming. This is a great example of how "blooming size" is all relative to your growing conditions and skill level. If this orchid had stayed in the nursery, blooming size might have been an appropriate description. However in my conditions and with my limit experience with this species, I am pretty sure "seedling" would have been a better description. The pseudobulbs have doubled in size since I bought it. Now it has enough energy to bloom. I am looking forward to more flowers are it matures.
