Just got mine. It's awesome. Hoping I can get it to bloom.

I got mine a few weeks ago. Snapped a pick but I don't have it here, I'll post tonight if I remember.

I got mine from Oak Hill (with a bunch on Cattleya TC's). Healthy and happy, mounted on a cedar plank. The Andy's plants look like they've been grown much brighter, I'll probably follow his cue and gradually increase light exposure. I'm getting a little weird white papery sheath too (I think).

Well it's been a few months, Just wanted to find out how's everybody's plants are doing. Mine like the rest of my Project 9 plants are hanging under my Oak tree. Getting dappled direct light all day and watered everyday. It has put out 1 new growth since I received it but no spikes. I forget when they usually bloom but I'm truly looking forward to it when it does. So What's up with yours?

Well, mine still looks healthy, but nothing that looks like a spike yet.

Mine has grown one new leaf but no spike. It' cool in the greenhouse now so I suspect it won't grow much at all during winter but this is the right season for blooms.


Edit: I just checked and I do indeed have a spike emerging!

Awesome! I will be watching mine closely.

Mine has grown a new leaf as well and it has 2 sheats on the growth that was diveloping when I got it and the new one. I'm hoping that spikes will soon follow.

I just went to water and check mine and noticed a very tiny sheath emerging. I had to get a magnifying glass in order confirm it. They are very very tiny. The race is on

Here's what the spike looks like.

Yours is further along then mine. It nice to compare your first picture to your last one. also it looks like yours may have a few developing.
