Yeah Ken, my orchids have been neglected too long. Lately if I want to bring a bloomer to the house to display, I have to groom it first. Jammed as they were in getting all the tropicals into the GH, they didn't get any individual care. I'm trying to get more of mine mounted so they are more in you face and can't be neglected. One of my favs, I'll have to look at the tag to remember, has both a nice health side shoot as well as a large flower spike. I got it about 18 mos. ago in flower, and this is the 1st flower since.

Darn, I couldn't find the tag, since I'm not very experienced with orchids; It grows in a basket with very little medium, extensive air roots and it's leaves grow so that the whole plant has a v shape. It produces one of the bluest flowers I've ever seen, 5-6 on a stem, and is very long lasting.
