WNYwillieB, No, it is a miracle! I love orchids, and I can buy them and keep them alive for years, but just no repeat blooming. So I should just buy them and enjoy them while they bloom and then give them back to the grower or to someone like Boojum who grows them beautifully.

I have repeats on a few cymbidiums every few years. Some of them we have had for more than 20 years and only had blooms on them in less then half of the years. Sad. I just don't have the patience, knowledge and attentiveness that it takes to grow them.

But loving this one. Oh, our success for it is that I left it in the living rm on the north side of our house since Dec and watered it sporadically. Total benign neglect has rewarded us. So this is really a fluke.

Last of the lilies. Very sad event. Patti
