In Feb.2007 she blessed me with 16 blooms. I had to bump her up to a 12" pot the same year. She took to her larger pot very well and began rapidly developing new psuedobulbs. Last year she produced 22 blooms.

She's been in the same pot for 2 years and I plan on repotting her this spring. The last time I did a pseudo count was about 8 months ago. She had 46 at that time. There are too many to count now and I get lost trying. Even her bud count is getting difficult to keep track of but it looks like she'll have 27 blooms and possibly more if she has more than 2 buds per sheath.

omg! thats awesome!
