Are there any lookalikes that are easier to bloom and/or bloom more regularly? Maybe instead of caudatum as a parent, maybe grande as a parent leads to better flowering?
Have you tried reaching out to Woodstream Orchids about grow out? What about Nancy Mountford of Orchids Dominica (Dominican Republic). If they can’t grow out, maybe they have contacts for FL or HI.
What about hanging these plants when outside?
(I was watching a BBC gardening show, and they were complaining about slugs destroying lily-of-the-valley, which is fairly invasive here in US)
This is the second flower; looks relatively cupped like a lot of other pictures (of course first flower opens when I was on vacation). Hopefully plant will bulk up with numerous growths.
