Don't seem to have much trouble flowering this species. I have resisted growing it outside year round since winter here is just a little too severe, and probably would effect its flowering since it begins spiking right around Christmas. So I keep it in an unheated "poly house" inside where temperatures don't fall below 45 F. This particular clone is not a looker, and in retrospect, I believe it to be a wild plant. I bought it back around 2005 at the local orchid festival. The somewhat wonky stems are due to not staking them quick enough in January, so I had to had to get a little "medieval" to bend them upright!
