First Fall Buds!!! I did it!!

[Rhonda Svoboda]

This was my first summer growing orchids the "right way", meaning the correct amount of full sun!! I have buds emerging from my Laelia Tenebrosa and Brassavola nodosa 'Panama Soire'. Apologies if I incorrectly mispelled their names. I am just excited that I've finally managed to correctly grow and bloom something other than a phal.
Which I also managed to rebloom.
Happy Blooming!

Congratulations! So glad you finally solved the problem of not getting your Catts to bloom. I have been enjoying my B. nodosa's fragrance each night this past week. So happy you will soon enjoy yours as well as some other pretty blooms!

Good 4 U! Your confidence can now catch up to your success.

Do you see buds inside the sheath of your tenebrosa?

Tenebrosas bloom in lat spring / summer.
From what I know, the sheath at this time must be empty (I'm assuming the sheath is fairly recent) and will be sitting there for months until you can see buds.

I have been growing one of this species for almost 4 years but it never bloomed (it was just a small plant when I got it). Now, finally, it has a sheath. If everything goes well, I'm expecting blooms in some months.

Picture 1 is the bud of my tenebrosa. Its definetly there- it will probably be just one this year.
