Maxillaria tenufolia blooming
I bought this small bagged Maxillaria tenufolia on the clearance shelf at Lowes just about a year ago. I repotted it into a bark and sphagnum mix last summer. It did well but no blooms.
Then this winter it started looking really healthy and I had hopes that it would bloom. But the cat knocked it over a couple of months ago and a few pseudobulbs popped off. I started worrying that it wouldn't bloom.
About a week ago I noticed the color seemed a little off, but it looked healthy so I didn't think more about it. Move ahead a few days and suddenly I have a bloom and it looks like one more on the way. So I'm excited. It was totally unexpected.
