Cymbidium goeringii Fuji-no-Yuubae 日本春蘭「富士の夕映」: A quick mid summer check. The plant came half dead 3 years ago. One of the mature pseudobulbs initiated flower bud formation. The flower bud formation is right on time 3 years in a row!! The flower bud is coming out from the base of a mature pseudobulb (2 years old in this case) and since the pseudobulb is planted below the surface of the pot, the flower bud is completely burried. It will grow and poke out from the surface of the pot by Halloween and will only bloom next spring (spring 2022)....it takes about 9 months from flower bud formation to flowering for this species. Yes, this species starts flower bud formation in the middle of the summer in the heat (right now it is about 30C in Toronto, Canada with good humidity). The flower bud has nothing to do with the cold night temperature in the fall, it's wrong. The flower bud initiation is NOW! This plant has bloomed 2 years in a row and looks like it will bloom again next spring (Spring 2022)
