This is one of my fav's!!! They just keep blooming and blooming and blooming. I'm on my 3rd bloom for the year with a double spike!! Congrats and enjoy!

Congrats - one of my all time favorites! If you treat it well, it will bloom non-stop. Mine grows like a weed and has been in bloom for the better part of 2010. While the last flower was still on the spike, it started pushing a new bud out of the same spot behind it - kind of like a multi-floral paph.

Psychs are so cool!

I just love waking up to these. My older one is growing its 5th spike and grows about an inch a day. Meanwhile the other 4 spikes are blossoming all the time. Wonderful plants, everyone should have a least one in their collection!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!! I love this orchid. If anyone has any tips on keeping her healthy and in bloom I would love to hear them.

Jonada,
I grow my big one in S/H. I've just converted two other's into moss (my favorite growing medium). I have one left to move and I think that will go into moss too. I've had it a couple of years in bark and it isn't growing well. Nothing wrong with it, good roots, etc. Just not growing as fast as the others.
Good luck! Experimenting is fun!

Bird Song... Are you growing in Spanish moss or sphag. Moss??
