Thanks for the picture Ben. That is one fantastic plant.

I saved a few pieces of my plant that froze and they are doing well. On their way to blooming size. I will insure that they are protected from freezing in the future.

How about an ever blooming paphiopedilum. Take a look at this awesome Paph. armeniacum that has been in bloom since 2010: Paphiopedilum armeniacum basket update - Slippertalk Orchid Forum- The best slipper orchid forum for paph, phrag and other lady slipper orchid discussion!

Thanks that is very cool!

Boom'in Bloom'in, but what's the culture?
 

Hi all. Just read some of the posts about orchids that bloom on and on. But there is no mention of: Window sill culture, T5 indoor lighting, S/H, living in the far north or deep south....I may be being silly, but before I get too excited about running out to buy say, an Equestris, I would like to know what environment it does so well in. :waving:blushing:

Everblooming Phal. budda's Imp
 

I have several Budda's Imp Phals. They all bloom nonstop and grow new leaves at the same time. They always have two to four spikes, which eventually reach 3 to 4 feet long, each with several pink blooms open at a time. My only wish is that the spikes were shorter! Brag, brag!

Restrepia antenifera

Good point, once my restrepia get going they just keep going.

Along those lines I'm going to mention Masdevallia veitchianna. Mine had a couple of weeks recently with no flowers but 10 buds, but that has literally been the only time it's had no flowers in over a year, and it was for no more than a couple of weeks.

Hi! Am late in the game but have to agree with a few folks who mentioned E. Cochleata. In fact because it never ceased blooming I got bored with it and gave it to my dad :). I find the Phal Bellina, Violacea and Cornu Cervi also never give up cause the spikes keep giving.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/03/aqe2y4yv.jpg. And this one. The Rodridenia Woodleng's "red gem". Which has been blooming ever since i got it.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/03/aza6ajah.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/03/zyduje2y.jpg. Two pics of it

I'd like to throw out Dendrobium Warawan.
Beautiful, interesting, light scent, easy. And thus far, ever blooming.

It came in bloom 5 months ago.
The original spike is still going strong and showing no signs of stopping.
It's sending up three more. All at different rates.
I read online it easily holds its flowers six months at a time. So far that's true.

At the rate it's going, it will never be out of bloom.
