Going to try that tomorrow, thanks Lindsay.
Spathoglottis are amazingly long bloomers. They put out a spike and it elongates and keeps opening new buds for months. They usually start up earlier, but I divided and re-potted a bunch of mine last spring so they were mostly sulking over the summer and just really got going again a month ago.
Yes, they are hardy here but I do have them in pots and protect them under a frost cloth 'tent' if the temps are going to get down into the 40's.
Keep an eye out at your local Lowe's. They've had at least 4 colors of Spaths that I have brought home - white, yellow, purple and one of the bi-color ones in the pics above.
I'm going to an Open House at Plantio la Orquidea on Friday, any chance of somebody coming along? Patty and Jim are both out of town, and they are usually my co-conspirators. Lindsay, it's just a hop and a skip from I-75 for you.
