Hi Rachel,
I'm with you on that one. Also once you figure out how to bloom them, they should infact bloom a number of times per year.
Some would consider these everbloomers

You just have to bring a number of bulbs to maturity.
Once these begin to bloom the growth is also faster.
I love this orchid, Had mine for about 10 years now. It was 1 of the first orchids I ever brought. Just always loved this orchid, Its likey to always be seen on my shelf
Enjoy all you're blooms
