Yes, maxillaria tenuifolia, I didn't write the name as I was too lazy to look up the correct spelling.  if you find out how to get it to bloom let me know. I so want to tell my daughter it is blooming. I have been hanging with this guy for 3 yrs as well. I have started yelling at it.  |

Someone in my OS kept a plant for 12 years before it bloomed. Made sure it got a ribbon when it appeared this summer on our show table.

I gave my Max. tenuifolia away, it was a stubborn space hog and the flowers were not attractive enough for the size. I got it to bloom a few times, HUGE plant only had three flowers. Idk if it bloomed because seasons or because of something I did, but I didn't water for a month and then I noticed flower. Probably no the safest strategy though! |

Turning 58 myself later this month and I'm counting on at least a few more good decades. Having interesting hobbies tends to keep one young or so I've heard.
