Thanks Tommy!
The first couple of spikes to bloom (they started some weeks ago) are starting to drop some blooms, but there are two spikes that haven't started to bloom yet, and two- three with only a few open flowers yet ...

and here are pix from a few days ago - the first couple spikes to bloom are finished, another one or two are nearly finished, but a few that weren't yet blooming at the time I originally posted are now blooming
Still smells nice, tho fragrance is not as strong now.

WOW! Is all I can say!

[My Green Pets]

Could you count the flowers for us please?

[tarev]

Very good growing!

Sharry Monster, isn't it?

[Leafmite]

Wow! Very, very nice!

That's impressive!! It reminds me of the plants you see at Orchid show exhibits, big and showy with tons of flowers, that you wish you could have just like that! I learned quickly getting into this hobby this year that that doesn't happen (unless you want to pay a lot). This is what we all want, great growing! I appreciate your sharing and giving us something to look forward to in the future...except for having to make that kind of space!

Ha!

Last year I got a spike with over 200 blooms, the year before spikes with over 100 blooms, so, while I didn't count these, I can say there's too many to count!

This is quite a robust grower, so it didn't take horribly long to get to this size - it was a 4" orchid from Trader Joe's five years ago

Yeah, it is an extreme space hog now - I used to have several orchids on that table; now it's all Sharry Baby. This will be getting divided soon - tho I will keep one fairly large division, at least hopefully one that will fit in this same (10") pot for a couple of years.
