Den. Paskel Kuning 'Hawaii' In Bloom

[quiltergal]

I've had this plant for at least 3 years, and this is it's first rebloom for me. It was kind of a surprise. It started a spike earlier in the year which blasted. (I think it was too cold) I showed my collection to an orchid buddy and told her that if this one didn't get busy and produce something I was moving it closer to the trash can! A week later a new spike emerged out of the side of the cane rather than the apex. It has a total of 6 flowers. I also took a picture of the whole plant. This is one I over potted but it didn't seem to mind one bit. The new cane is over an inch in diameter, and there are roots flying everywhere.

that is a wonderfull den ''terry''
nice growing
maybe the trick to get it to bloom is braking the first spike!

Very nice dark red. I love it!! Congrats on the rebloom.

Wonderful blossoms! To me it is also always a surprise if some of my orchids start to rebloom - one of the best feelings for me :-)

Nice Terri!! Three years, too! You must have the patience of a saint. Awesome blooms.

I don't know, but it seemed like a pretty big coincidence!

my Grandma always said you have to speak to your plants... I am sure she never thought of this version: "Either you start blooming RIGHT NOW or I send you to the trash can!"

Hey! Whatever works!! I'll start talking mean to them all if it works.

I really, really love this one! The color combo is beautiful and unusual. It looks absolutely huge, is it? What size pot is that? Sorry for all the questions, I just love it.
