Interesting. I don't have many leads but they are pretty compact. I did buy it as a medium seedling 2 years ago but it is slow to do anything.

I have had mine about a year. It was supposed to be 6 months to a year from blooming. It didn't help that I broke part of my newest lead, although it still is alive just stunted. I do have a tiny new shoot starting, so there's that. Maybe when ours bloom they will be show stoppers

Thanks for the tip. I do try and achieve that, even putting it on a heat mat in winter since the greenhouse is cool then. But I gave them a seaweed soak yesterday and we'll see if that helps too.

Wow, what a beautiful one! I looked up its background and, among others, it has aclandiae and dowiana. Pretty cool.

I have one of these also, but no blooms yet. I have terrible luck with cattleyas in my house, so this one joined my other cattleyas that I have in the office. I would love to get blooms like yours, beautiful!
