Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream'
Blooming for the second time this past year. This one has 5" flowers and the plant is a real bully!  |

Your's is so lovely..  Mine's on the end of the blooming cycle, it was purchased 2 months ago, what's your secret for multiple yearly blooms. My first species of this type. Gotta tell Todd  |

Cheryl, I am just lucky that my large plant has multiple growths. Each growth blooms at different times so that results in 2-3 blooms per year!

Very nice!!
I also have one from last spring and it didn't give me any flowers since then 
I keep it in bright light, only in the summer it receives sun. It was repotted (but not divided) last spring, after flowering. It has put 2 growths, they grew the size of the others but it refuzes to bloom!
I don't know what should I do ... the rest of them are flowering (other Oncidium Alliance hybrids) but not this one 
Great looking  |

Mine is in a south window so gets as much sun as I can give it....the Brassia hybrids, at least for me, seem to need more light than the other odont hybrids. They also prefer more heat but goodness knows I am NOT supplying that...the window where the Beallara grows dropped to 12 C (55 F) last night.

Beautiful. That low temp. might just trigger flowers too. I gonna move mine to the south window, I find that my brassia types are loving it there right now. But I'm a little afraid of all that southly light in the summer, could be too intense. Do you have a picture of the whole bully?
