Hi Sun,
I'm not sure how long they will last...thry've been going for over 2 weeks now with no sign of wilt yet...except for the two blooms I pollinated.
This is only the second time I've had this plant bloom...last year it had one and I can't remember how long it lasted. I will let you know when they finally give way.
Stephen...it sounds like you've got some wonderful species in bloom; I look forward to your pics!

Some truly worthwhile species David. They are all very stunning. Thanks for sharing the pics. I have Rhy. colestis that is a large single plant and it did not bloom at all last year but is showing four spikes now. A little late compared to yours.

I have a couple species blooming.
Dendrobium victoria-reginae - I can't take credit for the bloom. I bought it off ebay already blooming...but I just LOVE it.
The Encyclia is supposed to be tampensis, but I think the tag got mixed up with my other E. species...I'm going to have to check tomorrow.
