My Nora Tokunaga has started to bloom. There are 13 spikes and 48 buds/flowers! It's very happy.

To me the flowers don't present that well as they face downward, and it's not fragrant as far as I can tell. BUT it is a prolific and reliable bloomer this time of year when flowers are most welcome!

Very nice, Carrie! While I was watering my orchids today I noted that one of my dens has some buds starting and I thought "that is kind of early", but I guess not! I hope mine are as healthy as yours. Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous blooms. The plant must really love you back to be as happy and healthy and rewards you with long lasting flowers.

This is actually last year's blooms. This year was even better. I fertilize with MSU and summer outside. This oen just seems to like me
