Fredclarkeara After Dark 'SVO' spike watch
Not a mini! The plant is in an 8 inch (20 cm) bulb pan, and it is stuffed. There is also a spike at the back that got caught between 2 monster p-bulbs and partially blasted and another from that area that I lost the same way. But these two spikes look good. This beast is likely to get divided after it blooms...I could up-pot it, and it may need to be huge to bloom, but it's almost too heavy to lift already. It is starting to drop leaves, by the time it blooms it will be easier to see the p-bulbs, (Likely will be pretty leafless by that time) The largest ones are about 10 inches (25 cm) tall and 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter.
This is the cultivar "Sunset Valley Orchids". "Black Pearl" is just starting to spike - it will be completely dormant by the time it blooms. For me, this grex is a late-season bloomer.
