Thanks everyone. Joy, Here is the whole plant. It has 7'spikes on the go right now. Poor dude, Tough show didn't get a ribbon and came home a little worse for wear. It was a brutally cold weekend, so tough to transport plants.

Nope, I don't cut the spikes until they go yellow/brown. they could just remain green for a bit...then start forming buds again after a bit of a rest. Amazing plants.

Great plant. When it gets warmer I'll order one from kingfisher orchids, I saw that they had some on their catalog.

There are closer vendors if you live in Ontario...up to you though. I'm sure you won't be disappointed either way. |
