I don't think it got the optimal growing conditions and it's smaller so no spike. Maybe another year?

Your plants look so healthy. Foliage on my hartmannii doesn't look so pretty. I thought by putting it in a planter it wouldn't be in way of the workers but it still got a little rough-handled and caught some spray paint too. But if it was still happy enough to try to flower, I'll take it!

My fitzgeraldii looks everything but healthy. The Kulnura’s do. I had them side by side on a bench. The fitzgeraldii suffered from sunburn where the Kulnura’s didn’t.

I had mine outdoors until night temperatures dipped consistently below 10C Apparently that was enough chill to get them blooming.

No posts since March? What’s going on? I was looking forward to seeing the spring blooms.

This thread barely gets updates :-(. That being said, mine are done blooming. I can’t share more pictures.
The most recent acquisitions that I got mid winter didn’t bloom for me this year. I have to wait another 10 months to enjoy their flowers.

I don't know if it's the weird weather patterns that I've had the last couple of years, but this year was pretty "meh" for my Sarcos. I still have some buds, so there may still be some that are presentable. Here is Sarco. Kulnura Symphony, in bloom now. I showed it last year, it was more floriforous then but still nice. On the other hand, Sarco, falcatus gave me one of the best bloomings I have had, back in March. I have had really great blooms from other genera, there was something that the Sarcos didn't like. Maybe too much rain in March and April. No idea...

I do think that I showed Sarco falcatus this year (don't see it in this thread, maybe in Vandaceous). Bur for the record, this bloomed in March.

My status remains the same. Perhaps I should just update a before and after picture of my little runts? Maybe they just don't like me.

I bought 2 to start with and they didn't do well. They needed way more water than I thought. They became a bit dehydrated, wrinkled leaves. And the fitzgeraldii suffered some sunburn. Despite it was getting the same amount of light as the cultivar.

I bought 2 more and started watering more often. I have them never dry out, almost water them like a Paphiopedilum and so far they flourish. Even the fitzgeraldii is recovering by giving me new growths.

Mine was still only in bud on Mother's Day (Sunday). Been waiting for more buds to open. For the one that has opened, to see what the blooms look like when the petals are fully open. Here it is this morning. Sarcochilus hartmannii 'alba'.

Never saw a hartmannii 'alba'. It's stunning!
