I don't think you guys really have much of a winter. All of mine are just now coming out of dormancy.

only one i can think of is Psychopsis Mendenhall, it is common for them to flower for well over a decade at a time, with less than two weeks in between each flower.
i got my flask of them today!
i wasnt going to read through each post on ten whole pages, so sorry if its already been said :P

I have wanted a Mendenhall Psychopsis since the first time I saw one at an orchid show. DH bought one not too long ago. It is blooming now and looms over the orchid table like an Apocalypse Now helicopter. The thing is gorgeous! Carol

I have a Psychopsis Mendenhall that has been in bloom since Feb 2007; it is a successive bloomer; first spike branched, so now it produces 2 flowers a month and there is a second branch that will probably bloom in a week or so. Also, Phrag piercii is a relatively small plant that is also a successive bloomer that puts out numerous flower spikes that contine to bloom for 6 months or more, always looking spectacular.

My Psychopsis Mariposa 'Magestic' always has at least three flowers on it and this has been going on for the past two years.

Spathoglottis kimballiana var antiquensis maintains a minimum of 5-7 spikes (20-30 flowers) at all times. Right now (summertime), it keeps 20-25 spikes (100-130 flowers) constantly! This is the most flowering species I have seen yet.

For me, it's my Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Kultana'. For the past two years it has missed less than 10 weeks in bloom.

Aaron,
Great thread!
Thanks for compiling the list. I hope you don't mind if I use it. Well for a wish list. I mean put it on the wall... in the real world with a tack.
So is Psychopsis papilio the Everbloomingest?
Thx!
Lee

Personally, I don't think so. I have papilio, and mine undergoes a short dormancy every year. The Spa kimballiana I have does not stop blooming, and produces hundreds of flowers per year.
