Purchased this from Happypaphy7 last year. It started blooming late July, see photos, and as they are winding down I just noticed a couple of new buds on the way. Is this staggering of blooming typical as plants get large enough to have multiple new growths? Not sure why it surprised me but I assumed it would be next season before I saw more blooms.

Beautiful. What a lovely healthy clump.

That's so nice! I really wish I had an NH with nice tessellation like this.

I notice that my NHs and similar crosses seem to do the staggered blooming once they get some size on them. The one I currently have in bloom produced 2 spikes at the same time. One of the spikes went into hibernation, the other developed into a gorgeous bloom that stayed open for months and months and months. I assumed the hibernating spike was going to eventually blast, but it reactivated around the time that the first spike was winding down.

Interesting. This is the only NH and the most mature plant I have, so I wasn’t sure if this was unusual or not. Looking forward to the extended blooming.
