C. Viola Sanjume 'Orange Blossom'

[tuvoc]

This is the second oldest orchid I have, and it has a rather mixed history. I bought it about twenty five years ago, and had a very hard time getting it to bloom. I gave a piece of it to a friend, who couldn't bloom it either. I gave my mother a part of it, and she couldn't bloom it either. In the meantime, mine committed suicide. When my mother died about twelve years ago, I brought hers home from Utah. It has grown well, bloomed of and on, but not well. This is the best it has ever done, six blooms on two growths. I don't know for sure why, but I'll take it.
