I know this isn't an orchid, but I was so excited that I just had to post this somewhere! I've had this Hoya Tsangii for about 8 months now and it finally bloomed for me! I bought it without any peduncles, it has since grown 3.
I went on vacation for 10 days, and came back to find orchids & hoyas blooming and LOTS of new growth. I guess you just notice that more then you're not examining your plants everyday? Haha.
