I got this wonderful orchid from Royal last fall, so this is the first time I've seen it bloom. It looks to be a little peloric, but it may just be a characteristic of this variation, I'm not sure....but it is beautiful.

It's gorgeous. I see what you mean about the peloric from the dark on the petals. Not sure if that's what it is, but it looks gorgeous for it.

Well done!

[Roy]

Thats how it flowers for that dend, all normal.

Very nice!

That's awesome! I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I have yet to bloom mine. I just can't grow it well enough. It's still alive and kicking, but no blooms. I gave it the silent treatment this winter thinking that it just needed some abuse and it did a little better.

C'mon, You can do it!!
Mine is getting medium light, but it did get a dry winter. The 'chids got a little neglected this winter, and had to live off their own body fat a little bit. I guess it's a good thing I fattened them up all summer. So maybe the rest is what did it.

Oh, mine got a rest too. Actually, it got flat out ignored. My culture has gotten better, but still needs improvement.
