Hi Billie, Keep on treating your Oaks Ames like the Saint Swithin. If it is bright enough for the St Swithin, it is bright enough for the other. Eventually it will bloom, but it will just take time. My I'Ansonii took 12 years to get it to bloom the first time, partly because I set it back once or twice, but partly becasue it is just plain slow growing. It is an error to assume all Paphs can be bloomed in as little as 5 or 6 years. Some bloom quick, some may take 10 or 15 years.
Case in point, a flask of seedling rothschildianum was planted out by a friend. One seedling galloped ahead and bloomed in only 4 years!!!! The second seedling of the 28 or so did not bloom until year 6. My seedlings from that batch bloomed in year 7, but a few did not begin blooming until year 10 or so. Some may have not bloomed yet, in year 15. Culture and individual genetic variation play together, making platitudes about how it should bloom in 5 (or pick a number) years meaningless. The plants just don't hear us when we say they are supposed to bloom on schedule. Do you want to keep putting effort into a slow to bloom plant? That is up to you to decide. I keep quite a number of slow growers. I think they are worth it, thats why you keep at least one Phal around to look at while you are waiting for the good stuff.
