This plant hadn't flowered for years before I bought it. Its taken 3 years & lots of verbal abuse but it finally worked. 10 flowers/buds so far.

RF orchids has nice coeruleas and so does Aloha orchid nursery. Aloha has a very nice improved progency bred for better flowers n colour. Just thought you'd like to know if you are fond of this specie.

I have had my coerulea for about a year. So far no blooms. Maybe I should start verbally abusing it on a daily basis.

Thanks but getting them into Australia as plants is deadly for the plants, in flask is generally ok. Some I've seen are questionable in being genuine also.
There are some Thai coerulea seedlings here & I do have one in spike, will be some time yet to bloom. Supposed to be one of these improved forms. Time will tell.
