Sophronitis cernua (first time bloomer) - Orchid Board

This is a first time bloomer in my orchidarium

I bought it more than one year ago, to test if this species would like the conditions in my orchidarium... I think the answer is yes

only two flowers in this spike (another spike growing), but I think next time I could get more blooms from it...

It's GORGEOUS!!

I'm not familiar w/this one...it looks like it will stay small...is this correct?

Yes it stays small. Great job Ramon. Mine would never tolerate all the moisture in the tank. I agree you should see bigger and more spikes in future.

Beautiful!!! I just bought a Sophronitis rosea... hope it grows as nicely as this <^^>

Awesome, Ramón! Love Soph. cernua! Nice work! Don't think I'll see blooms on mine until next year.

Very nice Ramon! I love this little one.

Tim I also bought Soph. rosea a few months ago from Oak Hill when they were having a mini special. Mine is sending out a new growth, so maybe I'll see a bloom when it matures. I sure hope so!

A real nice on Ramon.

I placed an order in March and the grower sent me Sophronitis cernua as a bonus plant and it is a very nice looking plant. I was delighted. Looks similar to yours in size but didn't bloom yet so I will be expecting something to happen in the Spring.
