Mine makes a growth that finishes in June, and then starts another that finishes in Oct/Nov and spikes as it finishes, and blooms as the leaves have reached full size -- often two or three leaves. Just curious. I've had folks tell me I don't have E. ciliare (old name) but a hybrid. But there is a judge in the shreveport society who has one just like mine with the same label, and no one has questioned hers. Ours were next to each other. I know they are the same. We both got ribbons too.
Anyways, great growing. Excellent presentation. 6 to 8 buds per spikes is great!
Take care
Thanks again for posting the link. Nice photography.

Actually I'm farther south. Try Chapala Mexico. About 30 miles from Guadalajara and right by Mexico's largst lake. Altitude 5300 feet plus which also changes the conditions. This is a local orchid.
