    I couldn't seem to bloom the plant I got from Andy's back in 2003. It grew well and got divided and not one of the three divisions bloomed. So two years ago I got one from Cal Orchids and voila!

    Such a lovely species.
    Why do you think the one plant bloomed & not the other?

    Under lights during winter, outside in the shade for summer.
