Until spring of last year, this was a gorgeous plant, blooming multiple times a year, with a number of blooms per spike ...

Then - gah! During an unexpected, early (April!) heat spell, it got very dehydrated AND burned! :_(

It has been slowly recovering - new growths are still smaller than what they had been pre-disaster :p

I was happily surprised when I saw buds coming on it! And not too shabby with 4! The plant definitely looks worse for the wear, but the flowers are still lovely :) Blooms are about 3" across. Keeping my fingers crossed that the sheaths on two newer growths may produce buds as well!

Thanks for looking :)

Wow, gorgeous, reminds me the dress of Spanish dancer for bolero!

That is stunning!!! I have a couple well done orchids too! I hate when that happens!!

tis spring, and the sun always catches us, lol...some plants just get the sun before we realize its so hot! beautiful blooms tho, and the plant looks like it will make it fine...I just love the color!

It's beautiful. I'm glad you didn't lose it.

Wow! I like it!

Very nice. I also see a bud on a christmas or holiday cactus in the background. So far only two of mine have put buds on. Woohoo for all kinds of flowers :)

Heat burn sometimes happens. The plant is on a good way.

Sorry that it received heat damage but it's blooming again and the flowers are gorgeous. Hopefully the plant will continue to recover and bloom.

How beautiful! So glad it made such a spectacular recovery!!!
