Thanks Ursula! Dennis Kone has only been in my collection since this spring but I hope it's a regular bloomer, even if it is only once a year. If I got all my orchids to bloom once a year in a staggered pattern, I'd have flowers all the time! I have a cattleya (that is now split into four plants) that usually blooms in October but I have yet to see sheaths on them. I may have to get them down and inspect them and give them a good talking to! I call them the "Mailman" orchid because my Dad got them as a present from one of his mail route customers. They're pretty reliable bloomers but they may not be used to living in the shade house. It's always an experiment with these plants!
