wonderful series of photos, thank you so much for sharing! I've had one with a little bud growing for months, no development! Mine's mounted but perhaps I'll try one in a pot - been considering getting a second. Congrats on such a wonderful bloom!

They are great plants aren't they? It's smell is absolutely intoxicating. I am surprised they aren't more popular. Yours is beautiful and obviously very happy! Good growing and fantastic journal! You are so lucky yours opened while you could watch. Mine popped open overnight.

Thanks! They really are great plants!!!!! The one preexisting bud low on the plant is stalled. It has already began a new bud!!! im so excited its doing very well! i killed the first one i had believe it... in one week!! Im just happy that this one is happy, and i corrected what i was doing wrong which was no air movement. really not happy with stale conditions!
i was surprised when it opened because the bud was still very green and the flower was green for about a week and it was right after a hailstorm so it was a nice end to that

Amazing! Your experience is rewarded for you have patience...I would have killed that plant from fussing with it...I have patience but I like to touch and handle plants...
from spring to mid September on the Hudson river line makes you witness the lush vegetations of New York...and the humidity and warmth of the summer will trigger any orchid to bloom...I was just wondering why the winter months have brighter sunlight on the windows?

Thanks!!! thats so nice Guys!!!!
Bud: Because all the leaves fall off the trees. I live around alot of big tall Very leafy trees so when they fall off the light is brighter and stays brighter for longer, and when it snows on our hill and little forest it reflects the sunlight and it gets very bright in our windows. when it is not snowing lol.

Plus you don't have all the smog and skyscrapers blocking out all the light from the low in the sky winter sun. |
