Yup it gets bright light...
I read they are a pain to bloom too. I didn't have this one for a long time so I don't know what to say. I think I read somewhere a temp drop helps it bud and it should send buds before it sends new pseudobulbs |
And here the whole plant:)

Lovely!
Job well done :clap: Here's a picture of the one at RF Orchids in Homestead Florida, taken last year on a tour while on the way to the Redlands show...and the entire courtyard smelled like coconut! :dance: : |
Thanks for the info Fren, it looks really good in that pot. The colour is striking, but I was hoping for slightly larger flowers.
Sue, that is one huge plant! Wonder how old that is. |
:shock: that plant is a giant, Sue!!!!!!! I wonder how much it weighs!
I brought my plant over to a OSA meeting so everyone could smell (and so they know this young fellow can grow something lol...I think my young age can make me look like a newbie, plus I'm new to the society)...not that I would win a ribbon cuz there was tons of great plants! |

To be honest, I never even thought of asking any questions about that plant! I was too busy trying to keep my jaw from hitting the ground as I walked around the RF Orchids property!!! :drool: It was fantastic and if any of you ever have the oppoprtunity to visit RF Orchids in Homestead, it will have the same effect on you...no doubt! They have a swimming pool in the center of the yard with a mosaic orchid inlaid into the bottom...stunning!!!

I only know what happens in my club but I'm guessing it's the same at others. As a newbie, new to your society and not having shown plants before [?] you should be classed as a novice.. Therefore you will be 'competing' so to speak with any other novices at your OSA meeting. And if you are the only novice that brings in something you could win a ribbon! :nod: :cheer: :banana: |

My maxillaria doesn't have a high enough flower count, and I know that it isn't a quaility plant because the sepals are very reflexed, so I would never enter it into the annual show, unless they wanted something to stuff the empty spaces. It was just a plant to help me mingle with people. And I brought paph deperle along with it, though I knew the society judge wouldn't like the petals on my deperle. I would have brought more paphs but I was out of space in my small box. Plus the spikes can get tall! I set my expectations high....and I know judges do to. Next meeting I'll have something more impressive if they open on time |
Nice Maxi!! And to think it doesn't even look like an orchid without the flowers!!
