Woo Hoo! 5 spikes this year! Despite me breaking the first one & the tip of one of these.
That's a very impressive blooming, I don't know if they are fragrant but if they are you can surely smell it through the whole house.
Give it time, with your skill & GH it will! I got it 6/2010, 2 growths & last year at this time it produced 2 spikes. I was really surprised to get 6 this time & it started a 3rd growth. It's in a net pot, in sphag, I let it dry out between waterings, then soak it for about 15min. It's at the south end of the GH which is shaded by 2 pm in the summer.Beautiful. I wish mine would bloom like that.
That's the one thing that's disappointing, it hasn't been fragrant I'm gonna put it back in the GH & see if that will make a difference.It is a very fragrant hybrid !
Thanks guys! I really love this little guy, I killed one years ago & was a bit gun shy but when I saw it at Ernie's, it was such a husky plant & the price was right so I had to try again!
