Hello,
I bought this 'roth' in Oct 2014 (8 months ago); it was sold to me as a division of a bloom-sized plant (Charles E. x Borneo). It was said to have come from Golden Gate Orchids in SF. I paid US $100 for it.
Here it is behind my other slipper orchids.
I have counted around 8 growths of various sizes. New leaves poking out of all of them.
So far, different opinions I have received here and there have suggested that this is not a very nice first roth to own as it is allegedly slow-growing and reluctant to bloom.
Questions:
1. Was I overcharged?
2. Does it look healthy? It seems quite small to me based on other photos of roths.
3. Here is the oldest growth. Is there any indication that it will/won't bloom, or is it just a waiting game?
Many newbie thanks for looking and even more thanks for a comment.
