Can't name anything but beautiful, great color combos. Congrats on your first bloom you must feel pretty awesome!!!

Hi, I bought a cat on sale, it had already bloomed. I have had it for 5 yrs. & cannot get it to bloom. It's healthy & is finally outgrowing the pot. What is your secret ?

I would love to share my secret - if only I knew! The only thing I did different this year was put all my orchids outside for the summer. We had the wettest summer ever here in Ontario and i fretted that my orchids were getting too much rain However they all seem to be doing better than ever! Go figure.
