Is it too late for flowers?

I would check with one of the experts on the board that has Orchidwiz (or buy a copy). It has the parantage of lots of 'chids. Pretty much impossible to cover 100% because, for one, not every cross is registered. It's a good beginning. Just watch the condition of the bare pseudobulbs. If they signs of shrivelling a bit of water wouldn't hurt

You can also use the Royal Horticultural Society website and search by grex name. It's a bit more tedious because you then have to do searches on the parents.

The parentage on your plant is

Den. Midas Gold x Den. Santana Yamamoto

In order to place this plant by "type" you'd have to take the parents back till you get to the original species (at least I think that's how it works.) Someone correct me if I am wrong here.

LOL Ross that's why it's so tedious tracing through RHS.

Wow, this may not be so easy. But thanks for the education. As said earlier I will give it until April. I will try to update this thread and let you know how it went. In the meantime if anyone has experience with this orchid, all blooming hints are welcome.

Here it is April 1 and this is not an April Fool joke, I found 2 flower buds today! I guess this means I gotta start talking nice to it?

That's it! It's a Dendro April Fool joke! They do that you know!
