I have Platystele stenostachya - blooms like crazy almost year around, rarely taking a break; it only slows down in Summer if it is too hot. Right now it is just covered with spikes and blooms.
Platystele umbellata produces several flushes of cute little "raspberries" throughout the year, but I think my main blooming was usually inside.( have to check)
Platystele ovatlabia has bloomed for me for several seasons straight out, this Winter it decided to simply put on growth and it is covering the mount. Surely next indoor season it will start up again, since the plant is really healthy.
I grow all of them warm and water daily with rain water. All three grow mounted, but I have a second umbellata plant which also grows very nicely potted in CHC.
