Isn't rebloom exciting? Good job! My first cattleya that I bought last November (without flowers), is currently opening up the last of her three blooms today. I am so HAPPY!!! Big boost to my orchid growing confidence level thats for sure. Congrats again on your rebloom.

That's a real nice Phal. I know the feeling of having a re-bloom. It's exciting and nice to know you finally got it right. LOL

Thanks for sharing,

Well done, Anthony! A first rebloom is awesome, and the second, and third, etc. get even more fun. You're on your way!

Great growing Anthony.

The first time an orchid re-bloomed for me I was soooo excited. It was the realisation I could actually get it to do that which got me in to buying more orchids.

Re-blooms are still exciting though a couple of years later when I've lots of Phals re-bloom. Just got to get some of my non-phals to re-bloom now.

The rebloom is what's happening! Congratulations, you've done it.

It sure felt good when the first bloom opened.

lovely! It's a great feeling - isn't it?

Went to check the Phals in the garage this morning and noticed some new growth.

It are white noid phals 2 with big flowers and 2 with small flowers.

2 of them have what look like new spikes, 1 of them nothing (yet) and another one could have a spike but at the moment it looks like it's going to be a root.

Guess 2 out of 4 isn't that bad

(The spikes that are left over from the previous bloom aren't doing much ... should I cut them off?)
