How long do Peggy Ruth Carpenter blooms last on average?
 
Last year I bought a blooming size plant of a Peggy Ruth Carpenter, and after a lot of hard work it finally bloomed yesterday/today. So I'd like to know how long the flowers last for?

Thanks!

Welcome!
That's a Beallara, isn't it? Seems most of my Oncidium alliance plants usually hold blooms about a month.
Congrats on the blooms!

You can get from 1-3 months on Oncidium alliance plants.

Some factors are the temperature. air circulation, humidity of where it is kept.

I have lost flowers as fast as two hours in this outrageous summer heat.

I expect 8 weeks as an average for Oncidium.

Gorgeous picture, it wasn't working as an image though so I've edited it to be a link so people can see it.

Can't help on how long they last I'm afraid as I'm still getting used to these myself.
