Bifolates are very finicky. When I repotted this one it refused to bloom for two years. Now it's finally in bloom with 7 flowers. The flower is not as blue as the photograph suggests. It's more of lavender blue.

Lovely blooms...dont worry about the "blue" thing...usually its lavender or violet that they mean "blue" for orchids...is it fragrant?

Amazing! How tall is the plant? Most of my bifoliates are really lanky and tall.
