Well they bloom from very new growth - so perhaps the wait will not be as long as you might think

don't know if you can tell in the pic but spike is from that small new growth

I have a Bulbo trigonosepalum (doggy doo)! Its smells horrible But I love it. Sniff Sniff yep it deffiantly smells like dog dung. I believe it has something to do with being pollinated by a fly.

There's more than just an orchid for every person, there's an orchid for many, many bugs too, including that lovely doggy doo for flies. It doesn't stop there either. Some orchids are downright sexy! They mimic female insects (usually wasps) to attract males of the same species, and you know what those guys are thinking with!
