Brassavola grandiflora blooms every 3 months on each new growth. scent is really strong, like allspice / cinnamon.
Catasetum saccatum from ecuagenera (came bareroot) . flowers did not last long. new growth bloomed before maturing and putting out roots. A backbulb has a new growth. I do not have expericence with this Catasetum.
Maxillaria sanguinea. it blooms sequentially, so only one or 2 flowers at the time, but more coming. I wonder how i could get a bunch of blooms at once.
Cattleya luteola. seedling from the old Oakhill, purchased it as a seedling
. Bloomed for the first time a few months ago, new pseudobulb has only one flower (the older pb produced 3 flowers). It has been a long dark winter, so maybe that made it more shy.
Nitidobulbon nasutum from ecuagenera (came bareroot). bloomed a couple (or 3?) of months after purchasing it.
Restrepia trichoglossa, did not bloom in the winter, but it is flowering most of the year. It produces a lot of plantlets / keikis, but unlike with other orchids have never succeded at propagating these keikis, although the plant gets bigger. I wonder why these keikis do not take off.
