Very nice Al! Isn't it weird how the flowers open in a random order? I'm sure next bloom cycle will be better. That was my experience. Last year's wasn't so great. This year's was much better. It even blue ribboned at a show. :)

Hey, that is GREAT! No shows around here so it only has to please me and that doesn't take much. It aslo grew a new plantlet so maybe, just maybe............

I think I see a new spike started on my plant. The plant itself is looking kind of stressed. I might try mounting it on a piece of cork. Maybe I just need to water it a bit more.

I find that mine likes to stay pretty moist as well. I have mine mounted on cork with some sphag and I mist it daily. I currently have a spike growing on mine and it just finished flowering on the previous spike that I accidentally chopped off.

Well, mine is getting ready to bloom. The spike is as long as it's going to get I think. Looks like there will be 11-12 blooms. The buds are just starting to emerge. Seems weird to have it bloom in the middle of summer.

Terri, ours must be on the same schedule! Mine is getting ready to bloom as well!

Wow, it's been a long time since anyone posted here!
How are all your plants doing?
Mine is putting out two new leaves at the same time. Anyone have this happen?

I wasn't able to get mine to bloom ever since I had it and a few months ago I knocked it off the hook and the plant hit the back of a Chair and broke the crown completely off. I couldn't get myself to throw it away and continued to care for it as usual. To my amazement it has put out 3 new keiki's
