I still have a plant of this with about14 growths that refuses to bloom no matter what but This plant and another bloom with no special care

Nicely done! I think some of the crosses made with the older generation of rothschildanums are just harder to bloom. I once had a beautiful multigrowth Delrosi that never bloomed for me. Now another OSM member is taking a try at blooming it.

:clap: Way to go - good job!

Delrosi is a tough one also I had one I bought in bloom so I thought I was safe but that was the last time I saw it bloom. Another person in our society had a very large one and never bloomed it. So it would seem some are meant to only grow leaves.

But the leaves are nice too. Nicely done.

Lovely...I gotta try to find one in Canada that doesn't cost $150 for a single growth division!

It amazes me the price that is asked, do they sell it at that price? I understand it takes time for roths to mature, etc., so that's part of the reason for the price.
Might you be better off with a different cross that would give similar flowers?Casi Bolles = concolor x Lady Isabel, both have good track records for ease of flowering. I got a compot of Armeniacum x Dragon Tale from Tom Kalina. He indicated similar to Dolligold but should be easier to flower, it's just a matter of waiting for these to grow up, which one might do with even a BS Dolligold!
