Hi Ken, I too have been curious about this terrestrial...I found a question/answer about this on orchid board...Don't know if it will help, but I did find it interesting.

I had been looking at yours on your site, and was thinking it would be a nice one to try. I love the bloom on them!

Edit...to add, doing a little more reading on these, and it appears that their bloom time is mid-spring, but I also read of them blooming twice a year...and it appears that they may have a possible dormancy period of only a couple of months, before new leaf growth again...Sounds like a really interesting plant, but pretty much grown for foliage. I sure do like those flowers though!!!

Back again...Others speak of blooming only on 'Mature' plants...How old do you have to be, to be considered 'Mature'!? lol
