Oh I see, it THEN turned into a dud!!
I recently gave a large Max picta away, it only grew and grew and after many years never ever showed me any signs that it might bloom one day. I went to the Winter Orchid Show and there is Glen Decker looking happy with a row of small pots ridiculously in full bloom on his sales table. I asked him about his conditions, it was very similar to mine. It seems I had a major dud taking up space, trying to look cute. I gave it away in the hope it might wake up in someone's else place under totally different conditions from mine.
