"Bloom" formulas do not promote blooming. At best, they "allow" it to happen if you have been applying excessive nitrogen previously.

Oooooooooooooooooo! They're doing it like I suspected!!!!
3 are growing new buds from very tips of stalks and 3 are popping out lower side stalks with buds!!!
I knew they'd make mama happy!!

Well done! Orchids are a lot tougher than they're given credit for being. Whenever there's green there's hope!

I am Glad that you weathered the storm and in accordance with the previous posts "hang in there" & keep the plants healthy!

So bad to hear about those days without electricity... Flowers will always grow back. Cut the yellow one to reinforce energy to one left.[COLOR="Silver"]
