I have yet to bloom my Papilionanthe teres, but I kept saying to myself it's not mature yet... lol... but I grow them for sentimental reasons Kathy... I collect as many as I can, all the species from my native country... plus if I grow them now, they will be mature when, perhaps one day I will move to a warmer place and at that point, they will be ready to bloom!!! See, all figured out:)
That's also why people make hybrids and intergenerics for you to grow, so you won't get too impatient waiting for your species to bloom...
