First time bloomer for me. It was gonna bloom last year but the spike broke due to a falling papaya.

Pretty Kevin, such a long spike, and typical Encyclia, they are very elegant:-) Damn, you have some issues with these falling fruits, Coconuts, Papayas, hope o more accidents like this in the future:-)

That's a great-looking spike, Kevin. Are the flowers fragrant?

I have one that I'm hoping is getting towards blooming size; it's got around 10 growths and the older roots are just starting to send out new root tips, so I'm hoping for something within the next year.
