Hey everyone i posted a little while ago asking for help finding one of these! and i did!!!!!!! It came from Parkside Orchids its beautiful!!! i am soo happy you all came together to help me out! here are the pictures of it

The Whole Plant

Its maybe 1 foot tall 14-16 inches wide. I didnt measure it im guessing. ohh and also its in a 4 inch pot.

The Spike

How long do you think before flowers???? i really cannot wait to see and experience the flowers!!!!!

Its Very Well Rooted!!!!!!!!!

this is probably not the best idea but its how I test my plants root systems to see if they are healthy. im there to catch it just in case LOL

What do you think? it looks good right??? How long for flowers??? once again thank you all for your help!!!!! you can bet that i will post picture when or if i t blooms. Things happen.

I'm so happy that you managed to find one! No idea on the blooming though, but I know that I'd be very impatient!

Looks very good, Sam, congrats! I've heard good things about Parkside too. I'm sorry to say that they take a while to develop before blooming.

Probably close to Christmas, anyway. Also, you could have more than one bloom to a spike, too, you just won't know for a while yet. But you got one, and a beauty at that!

Bravo!

Congrats on your new addition. It's a beautiful plant. I have no idea about the blooms, but I can't wait to see them, when they do decide to make an appearance. I've ordered from Parkside Orchids, and I am always very pleased.

Congrats on the plant and bud! Mine is at about the same stage as yours. Hoping for a bloom by Xmas!
