The person you got it from possibly got it from someone/somewhere else. It's not an uncommon practice.
Usual bloom time for both parents is fall/winter but I have (on a few occasions) see them in bloom as late as March/April. Never June though. Then again, orchids don't always follow the rules. :lol:
It might head into dormancy after it's done blooming. Let the leaves dictate the culture. If they start to go..follow suit w/the appropriate watering schedule. Nearly every year I order at least a couple of Ctsm in from S America and it can take a year or two to get them fully adjusted to a N. hemisphere schedule. Not a big deal...just have to pay a little more attention to things until they get adjusted.
BTW - my herrenhusanum (one of the parents) always blooms in Nov/Dec. Cute little thing!
