Blooming time is changing by climate?

[Nico]

I am a beginner in growing species, but I have some questions for more experience growers.

So, I have in my collection 2 Laelia purpurata. In the first 2 years I had no flowers. This year, in May, they both have bloomed nicely.

As I foud out, in their native country, Brazil, they bloom six months later, in November (spring time there).

Is that a kind of adaptation on the climate? What do you think about that?

Many thanks!

PS: I forgot to say, in Romania May is spring and pretty warm.

Actually they are right on time - blooming in spring,whether in the northern hemisphere or the southern. Plants don't read the calendar, but know the seasons.

it did have a 2 year jet lag....but it bloomed according to its season cycle

Calendars are meaningless to plants. If a plant is a spring blooming plant, it will bloom in the spring, regardless what hemisphere it is in since it responds to environmental cues, like light duration or temperature....
