Thought I'd share a photo of my Chia Lin since a few growers in an earlier thread in this forum mentioned that they were having a difficult time blooming their plant. The flower on the right just opened so the color may not yet have reached its full potential. The other flower is just opening. This plant was purchased as a mericlone seedling in a 4-inch pot from Kodama Orchid Nurasery in Waianae, Hawaii in February 2004. The plant which must be at least 12 years old has bloomed at least 4 times before. The flower has a sweet fragrance. The plant is growing in a 8-inch plastic pot with bark as the media.
