I have been know to repot even if the plant is in flower. I recently acquired several Brassias in Hawaii and merely cut the blossom stalks off and then repotted. I guess I feel it's better to be safe on a plant then to value the flowers, otherwise why not just buy cut flowers? Weird, I know, but that's me.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
