Thank you, Dollythehun. This is the kind of answer I'm hoping for. I hope to get some more responses like this, and I'm sure some of them will work for me.

Not to be a wet blanket, but this really should have been "This one is always in bloom for me."

Ray, I get what you're saying here, but it's not like buying random crosses is our only choice. Can't we eliminate some of this problem by buying mericlones of particularly special individuals? Moreover, aren't some crosses proven to be particularly reliable, albeit variable? There is a very large thread on here about everblooming orchids. I would think that trying to make that list has all the same problems as this one, but that did not stop people from coming up with a very large list. I am very new to serious orchid growing, so if there is something I'm confused about please enlighten me.

Here is the original poster's request: "If you have plants that have shorter bloom times but that reliably bloom more than once a year, please share their names--especially if they're beautiful and fragrant!"

I complied with the OP's request.

We get it Ray. Was that necessary?
