Thank you Jayfar
No- i did not give it a rest-it sits in the same Spot all Year long.( i just found out -reading post on OB that they need a rest-i will try it this Year-see what happens)

Your display is gorgeous though. So many flowers and spikes! How often did you fertilize?

Thank you jeremiah.chua
I fertilize these ones every 2 Weeks now-weakly
I use to do it like my other orchids-3 weeks in a row with flushing them the 4th week-but since they are in Moss-moss keeps in the fertilizer longer-i found out when the Tips of the Leafs started to turn black
Now it's every 2 Weeks.

Thank you Lecent
I didn't want it to get drowned by all this rain
and besides i had to carry the big Frog Humidifier for the Auction-and then nobody wanted anyway and had to take Home again
