It’s been six years or so since we brought over a bunch of orchid rhyzomes to Portugal. We knew it would take at least five years before we saw any flowers and no guarantee whether they would even survive. As of last year, seven produced flowers. This year we have two more. The last one has healthy leaves but still no flowers.
At any rate, this year’s cymbidiums are blooming pretty much all at once. Here is what our sun room looks like now:
The white cascading one, top center, has produced eleven spikes this year! And we have four more plants in the greenhouse that have produced spikes that have yet to flower.
