For several reasons it is always better to look for an artificially propagated and well established plant, and these are on the market.
Thanks, Bud, for your particularized growing description. How big is the flowering bulb ?
|
Thank You !
the biggest bulb is 8 inches in length and 5 inches in diameter. If I managed to make it more fatter then it will be bigger than a softball. The biggest bulb gave me the spike and a new growth. I am very pleased for the 5 new growths this spring that came out from the other leafless bulbs.

And bud says its bloom size...

I saw the pictures you posted and it has given you a new growth and by springtime it might spike on you, just continue the culture.

Yes, good growing!! It's beautiful!  I love the soft white color it has... & the purple spots! *sigh* Sadly, I think this is a little too large for me to get one.... Maybe one day  I love it's pot too! You always seem to have cool pots... Ones you don't ever see being used for orchids... I like that! One of these days, you should post pics of all the grow areas in ur apt, I'm picturing a jungle of orchids, considering how many orchids you post about! Lol 
...hope that didn't sound creepy..  |

Thank You for the visit!
You can try Kawamoto Orchids online or try them on Ebay. I saw some pictures of 2 to 3 year old plants that might bloom in a couple of years. Its $23 for a pot with 5bulbs and add shipping for $12 |
