Hi, iMark. What a nice haul! I have the Taida Salu and the Sinica Cherry, both very beautiful.

My Taida Salu set a spike in May and is blooming now. It is about 37% summer bloomers. I love the velvety texture, so rich.

The Sinica Cherry is likely to be a summer bloomer. It is 25% doritis, a summer blooming species, and 25% equestris, a species that tends to bloom twice a year. I looove this one -- deep, irridescent purple. I had no idea Odom's was offering this. Have to call them.

The whites and soft pink are likely to be winter bloomers. Growers can bring them in to bloom at other times by controlling the temperature and day length.
