Nice growing! Blooming orchids in Boston in December. Well done!

Beauty. For me outdoors here...not so happy grown on cork. Skipped blooming last year and nothing this..but has grown. If nothing happens soon..put it in a pot. I can water and give it the right light easier.

Gent from my old os used to grow these. Was always trying to talk me into growing one. Had to keep telling him that while I absolutely loved the flowers, I simply did not have room for a plant with a 4ft + flower stalk. :-)

I'm susprised, Stan. Would have though growing and flowering one mounted would be fairly easy in your area.

It bloomed the first winter outdoors. Now that its double the stems? Nothing. Can't be too much shade but thats all I can think of. The King palms for now are making some shade. I should post a pic.

btw- Its got roots over the cork and on to the trunk of the palm. It looks fine.

Suzabanana,

You grew that in Boston? I live 20 minutes from you! Did you grow it outside and then bring it inside? Did you flower that solely inside? And what kind of light did you give it? Such a great job and a beautiful picture))

I bought it at the Lyman Estate Orchid sale in April. It summered outside and I brought it in middle of October. It flowered several weeks ago. It's still blooming and is gorgeous :) We'll see what happens next year...

Beautiful bloom!
