Yellow complex hybrids
I don't know why, but some yellow hybrids are reluctant bloomers. Several growers have told me, that Rlc. Williette Wong 'The Best' AM/AOS is not easy to bloom.
My first batch of WW 'The Best' turned out to be something else (Golden Emperor, which in my opinion is even better), so I can't comment on difficulty of blooming yet. I have a new batch of WW in from HI, so I will have to see how they do.
Some 3 years ago, I bought several Rlc. (Orchidglade Charm x Chunyeah 'Good Life No. 1'). None have bloomed till now, but this is what I found in the greenhouse today.
There is only a single flower on each inflorescence, but I think it is worth keeping for another blooming (or two).
