Yay! Aside from my phal. violacea, my first species blooming success! Now, watch me being extra careful to keep those buds from blasting!

And NathalieS, I got my plant late April, and I didn't have any new growths until June, but as soon as I gave it more light and put the mount in a saucer that retained some water... BAM!, 2 new bulbs poked out, with the third one playing hide and seek under the oldest leaf. So, about 3 months for my soph. no idea if it's the normal growth rate though!

Come to think of it, maybe the ungodly heat we've had scared it into growing faster! I don't think my living room went under 78 for all of July and most of August, even at night, with day averages of 84 due to my MH lamp.
