My house was flooded by the rich soapy-sweet aroma last night. It reminded me that it was time for my epi--Here is what I found. What an awsome sight! There were a total of 7 blooms.

Sunday Evening Treat!!
Another shot.
Very nice!
very, very nice.
Gorgeous Rockminer!
Beautiful! Congrats on all those glorious sweet blooms! I would be happy to see just one bloom on mine! That is really a nice plant!
Thanks for the nice comments. I'm tickled that Dave's Garden enables me to share my thrills with wonderful folk like y'all!
Bill
Bill, I have one coming to burst too this week, can't hardly wait and will post just for you! Thank you so much for sharing, this is what makes us gardeners happy, just little things in life like something in bloom! Clem
Awesome I want mine to bloom. He has not bloomed in 10 years. What do you all do? Orchidman! suggested I repot him, as a start and the shock should help.
Lavina
Lavina, Have you tried feeding it with a bloom booster (high middle number) fertilizer? I wouldn't repot if it is healthy and happy in the pot it's been in. I've heard some folks talk about other types of plants where they bang on the pot, to rattle it a bit ... saying it shocks the plant into blooming, but I have no idea how or if it works! LOL.
Hum another possibility to try, before the repotting.
Lavina
Lavina I agree with plantladylin, I have been feeding mine blooms plus weekly and now she is blooming. I hear they like to be root bound, so be carefull about repotting. Bloom plus has phosphate over 50!
LaVinaMae: I've got you a nice plant that I'm giving you the next time it comes into bud. It blooms regularly as seen in the picture taken last week. This way it will bloom in your ownership!!! Thanks for all the plants you've shared with me. LOL bob
Bob thank you I just hope I want be like the one on here who had buds and the buds fell off. Maybe if it stayed in the office a few days and I came in early it would still be in bloom. What do you think?
Would it be in bloom around 6 AM?
Lavina
I can answer that and it is no. There are closed by day time. They fully open after 11 pm.
