Hey guys this is one of my most favorite orchids! and my most prized plants! these were taken in just the past winter a few months ago. just getting around to showing you guys!







To show the size of the flowers



All in All the plant made 5 flowers! and a fragrance that filled the whole room! The plant was a 14 or 16 growth plant when it bloomed and had 3 stems. and is now setting up its second blooming now for the late summer or fall bloom. so far 3 bloom sheaths and a new growth on the way hopefully will make 4 altogether

I too have an LC Drumbeat Heritage and it's the only plant I was able to keep alive for over 2 years! Your's is absolutely beautiful! I'm jealous you were able to rebloom 5 flowers! Mine had one this past winter/spring but I was just excited to get it rebloom. Keep up all your hard work.

Thanks! ohh and its making bloom sheaths now! three so far! these pics were taken at the winter blooming. well late winter like jan. so then in april it started sending up new growths and they are just now maturing and have sheaths on them. the sarongs are still purple-green and starting to expand

I have 3 new leafs that are growing larger everyday. Do you think i'll get sheaths out of these from your experience??

Just keep looking at them and see! if they dont bloom try more light. My drumbeat sits in almost full sun with some shade in the after noon. so far so great! its happy now so im happy. on my drumbeat the sheaths appear when the leaf growth seems to slow down a little then they start to peek out. but that's my plant so just keep looking at those new growths for anything different.

The flowers were amazing! and lasted quite long! a month for sure!
