Tolumnias in Bloom

Tolumnias are fun to grow and bloom. You really never know what the flowers will look like until they bloom--spots, stripes, large skirts, etc. It might be my imagination but sometimes the second bloom looks very different than the first. Here are a couple plants in my collection that are blooming for the first time. These are plants that I obtained from Gavin Yamada of Puanani Orchids in Waimanalo.

That's beautiful!

Would you mind telling me how you grow them? I have one that is very stubborn and refuses to bloom:(.

Beauties for sure! I'm also curious as to how you grow them.
