Nice blooming, the yellow on the lip really pop, are they fragrant?

Yes both. The intermedia is light and sweeter. The flaccida is strong and smells up the back 1/2 of the house. There are 3 or 4 inflorescences now on 2 plants.

I don't know what it is but it's on Page #49 of my "Miscl. Stuff" thread.

I didnt see it either. As stated tho, a cooler/dryer winter rest may help. Otherwise, increasing light during growing season, reducing fertilizer in fall, and day-to-night temp changes (10 -15 degrees) will help. Like phals, many orchids are reluctant to bloom without a daily temp swing, and the winter cool down. But this can be hard to do indoors for some of us. Maybe a cooler spot near a window without getting sunburned.
 
Thanks. i moved it to the window and the new growths have slowed down; maybe it will try to bloom.
I don't know why you can't the photos it's post #1925 on 5/16/15 and can also be seen in post #1970 on 8/2/15. :eek:

Ok found them...and holy crap. I leave for a bit and u start stocking up on all kinds of non-slippers, great variety btw. Hard to say what it is. I acquired some colognes labeled as lactea that look identical. But to add to confusion lactea is sometimes synonous w flaccida. But my flaccida has totally different pseudo bulbs. The "lactea" has been a slow bloomer for me as well but it has bloomed. Id need to dig around for photos. If it blooms someday we can tell. Saw another one u had (from park side ?) that looks like a big cologne speciosa. mine bloomed couple times a year. They r nice.
 
Thanks. Like I said, it has stopped throwing out new growths so maybe it will bloom sometime this year. I have 3-4 now and they are generally easy so this big one is the challenge.
