I know this is an old post, but I have one of these and was wondering if this orchid is a winter bloomer? Or can it bloom anytime during the year?

I got one of these as a 4" bag baby Dec 2013. It was in terrible shape. I normally would not have paid money for it but it's such a good cross. It plumped up quickly and grew rapidly but has not flowered yet.
Yours is beautiful. I can't wait for mine to bloom.

Joseia - I have had it bloom in January and also March.
Brsucculents - Good luck!

Mine is also a bagbaby from Lowe's, purchased around March 2013. And like yours, it was in terrible shape. I hope it blooms this winter, it has been a long wait!

I have read that it has a nice fragrance, but I won't know for sure till mine blooms.
