That just look wonderful. Do you have to give it a month of cooler temps. to get it to bloom? Our Orchid Sociey sale is this weekend and the last few years have been toying with the idea of getting some nobiles to resell. I stick mostly to paphs.. I just would hate to get stuck with 20 nobiles that I couldn't sell or worse yet couldn't sell and couldn't get to rebloom.

Thanks for the complements everyone!

With this particular one, I don't give it any different treatment at any time of the year. It does cool slightly due to me keeping the house cooler in the winter, but that's all. Every late winter/early spring, it always blooms. I have had this one ten years now and it always done fine. I have divided/trimmed it back many times.

I'd be interested in a divison next time you divide it. I like the idea of not giving it any particular cold treatmeant. As I said before, just lovely.

Interesting that it blooms with the leaves still green. So no dry rest? Is it grown in S/H?

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow!!!

 

[biothanasis]

This one gets treated the same way year round. I water it all the time. It is grown S/H. I have had other nobile hybrids that I grew the same way.
