Psychopsis flower
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! 
My Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' opened its flower on Tues. I like the "Alien". 
My Paph. fairrieanum has a bud, but it is so tiny. It's a first blooming. I wonder if the bud will get bigger. I can't believe it will develop into a fully formed flower. Time will tell, I just have to be patient. |

Yeah, this one is awesome, I have to get one of these next year! I heard they do bloom from the same spike over and over again?

Lovely blooms! I have a 'hildos' but it is still a few years from blooming. I bought it as a tiny seedling for the pretty leaves and have been enjoying watching it grow. Nice to be reminded of how the blooms will look someday! |

Yes, they do... if they are taken care of! Some spikes have been known to last up to 10 years. |

So true! I have one that has had a spike since I got it over five years ago, it has a flower right now. |

So how many flowers do you think that has had then? Sometimes you can count the alternating sheaths left behind. Just curious, if you happen to know! |

I counted around 15, it had a spike when I bought it, but it didn't start flowering for me until I put it into a cedar basket. Now I have two spikes constantly in flower. |

I've got one in spike and when moving things around I broke off the growing tip! 
Luckily it is now branching and will hopefully flower soon, but I set it back at least a month or two. |
