Wow! Long wait. Are the stems normally short on this variety?

But it was worth the wait! Perhaps someone can chime in since this is the first eburneum that bloomed for me.

 

[MaryPientka]

Fantastic! My stems have been relatively short, too.

 

[NYEric]

Superb! Indeed very short stems compared to regular form

 

[bulolo]

Very nice blooming! Love the pink in it!

Lovely blooms. Mine doesn't die and it doesn't bloom
either...just glowers at me and grows a little bit.

That's about the shortest stem I've seen.
Based on what I've seen, the stem length can be variable.

By the way, what are your winter conditions like for this plant?
How big was it when you first got it and how big is it now?

super cute

Plenty of charm.

When I got it 5 years ago, it was single growth plant. Now it is a 3 growth plant. I'm actually surprised the third growth didn't bloom as well since all 3 growths developed the same time.

Like all my other orchids, 70s for day and 60s for night. Water all of them once a week.

Alright, thanks.
Did the original growth die out and you are left with three new fans (two of which are in bloom)?

Yup; one lead to three growths.

Beautiful and congrat's on getting it to bloom finally....was worth the wait I am sure.

 

[Markhamite]

Great flowers! I waited 4 years for mine to bloom....but it turned out not to be an eburneum....oh, well. It was still a micranthum.
