P. equestris 'Riverbend' AM-AOS
Here's the story, I got her in bloom with one spike at my first NCOS show/sale in 2004 from Seagrove Orchids. Was told she would put out much more when she matured ! That spike finished and by August 2005 the first bloom on a new spike appeared. She has been in bloom EVER SINCE ! Before that spike was done 2 more started up ! The second 2 were in bloom before the first 1 finished ! Getting the idea ?!! I won so many NCOS ribbons that my members were tired of seeing her !! So, I backed off and don't feel the need to bring her in quite as often !
Let's go backwards here. Right now, the newest 2 spikes have 3 branches on one and 4 on the other ! The ones before that are still active with a keiki on the end of each (I have 5 keikis on her) and they had each split in 2 branches ! So, counting the branches, right now there are 11 spikes active !!!
Whether or not you guessed, this is my #2 favorite orchid !!!!! No fragrance but who needs it, not her ??!!
