indeed, it was. it was billed as a “teacup” on my Publix persistent orchid table. there was a few “teacups” with the big boys. but this guy looked like a little man! none of the others looked like it.
i have thought that 1) i should not have trimmed any arms... just the spike ... which i did when i felt it was finished flowering. 2) however, maybe the arms (3?) trim (just trim) caused the bonus bloom!
she bloomed all the way to (picture is March 18) almost April.
:
2020 spike is really strong and long! i only attached stake because it was “there/close.”
i wonder if they bent the original (2019) spike and maybe the little left arm, as it had about a 90° top turn. ?
ps. i used full strength ‘better bloom‘ ... i think it likes it.
