Seedling to Bloom time average

[ipv6ready]

Just curious to know a few facts?

Broadly speaking what is the time line between deflasked seedling to blooming iif "good" enviroment is provided to the orchid?

I am curious to know of these particular breeds

Phals
Vanda (strap leave)
Oncidium


What is the fastest?

Phals are fastest of those kinds. I've bloomed some in less than a year from flasks. Vandas = 4-6 years. Oncidiums 3-5 years.
It varies as to how they are grown and how long they are in the flasks. Here in nature I've seen Onc. bloom in three years from seed - but that's a matter of being in a cloud forests and which species.
