Nice plant you have there, three growths and a new shoot.

I still haven't found a nursery ( except for Asendorf ) in Europe that is selling these. Ah well maybe I'm lucky at Bad Salzufeln or Orchilim.

Mine has been growing like a weed, but out of bloom for over a year now too

 

[cnycharles]

mine gets relatively 'benign neglect' at times ; maybe that's the trigger and you guys' plants are too happy.... mine looks like it might have a future spike growth coming as well

Mine is certainly due, but I shouldn't complain too much. I had about 10+ growths just hanging free like aerial keikis on a phal. So about a year or so ago I put the whole mess into a 10" pot and its doubled in growths, that are sending some nice deep roots into the bark. Last check I saw another handful of new stolons snaking around too. There is one mature growth I recently spotted that has what could either be a bract or new leaf. So when it goes, it should put on a good show.
