Sorry, I know this isn't an orchid, but I just had to share! :evil:

I ordered this plant 12 years ago and it was just a wee little 2 inches tall. LOL Over the years I almost threw it away several times...it just got way too big and NEVER FLOWERED!!!

Well, I'm glad I kept hanging on - after 12 long years, look what it finally did for me!!! :banana:

That is VERY cool Ethan! Twelve years shows dedication that only an orchid grower possesses. Congrats on the bloom, but at least it looks like you had some cool looking foliage for 12 years. That's a neat looking plant.

hehe...thanks, guys! :bowing

Yes, 12 years has been a long time to wait, but I always kept thinking "someday it will bloom". LOL

And like Royal said, I had some nice foliage for the first 12 years!:lol:
