I've had this clone for about 20 years. Five or six years ago, I gave Wendy a piece for helping me with an open house - orchid sale that I had. In July 2008, Wendy took her division to judging and won an FCC! Less than 4 months before that, the Mother plant in my greenhouse suffered severe frostbite when the Big Freeze happened. Thankfully, it was one of the plants that pulled through. It had been shortened considerably; but, the rhizome and lower portions of the growths remained viable.....and it grew back. This is the first post-freeze blooming for me. The plant is not yet back up to it's full size again. After blooming, I'm going to repot it and I will expect it to put on some nice sized growths this summer. 'Can't wait 'till next year...maybe I'll get 4 flowers on one stem, like Wendy's piece had when it got awarded.
