Hangianum Finally

[pocomo2]

After 20 years. Bought a com pot with 3 plants from JEM orchids at their moving to Hawaii sale In 2004. Not to shabby for a first bloom seedling. A little bit of physical damage to left side petal but overall pretty good shape. Of the 3 plants 2 are left with the other one approaching this size. Just thought I'd put this out there. My first post . Chris

Better pic. Petal width is right at 5 inches

Appreciate the long term commitment. I still have never bloomed one (down to just one seedling currently).

Congrats. Why is it growing that way, relative to the leaves??

 

[pocomo2]

Not exactly sure. Spike was never supported and it is growing more horizontal than vertical. It may just be the camera perspective you see.

20 years from essentially fresh out of flask to bloom? Is this how they always are?
Congratulations!!!!

Long anticipated! Congratulations on the first blooming!

I have a flaskling approaching blooming size from 2020. Will it bloom? Hmmm.
