Mine always bloom in the winter. I dont give them a rest per-se. I just move them indoors in my basement, so. I guess the temps are lower. I don't change the watering schedule though.

Same here. Mine blooms reliability and I just bring it indoors. No change to watering.

Oh wow!!! I bet the smell is intoxicating when they are all in bloom!!! I have one that has 11 spikes this year (though sadly half have blasted for some reason), but the smell of the remaining fills the kitchen and kitchenette!!! I can't imagine the wonderful smell from sooooo many!!!!

Mine is starting to bloom now. The fragrance is wonderful. I haven't counted the spikes as there are too many. I'm hoping to take it to my next society meeting for show & tell

My buds are just starting to slowly open. 7 spikes on a small pot full of keikis that were given to me last year so not too bad I guess. There aren't a lot of flowers on each spike tho. Does anyone know how long the blooms last? I'm hoping for long lasting.

What sort of growing temps and medium do you have yours in? Mine throw out keikis like mad but I can't get a spike :S Yours are beautiful!

Silken, blooms don't last very long, unfortunately - a couple weeks maybe.?

Calypso, these like some cool temps to bloom.

Thanks, good to know. I was hoping they would last till the orchid show later in Feb. but I guess not. Our society always has a display and I have very little to offer for it this year!

I kept mine pretty cool and dry and it bloomed on most of the canes.

Gorgeous, where do you purchase your plants? I haven't seen these.

It must be a great show when they all bloom at the same time
