Non stop Stanhopea - Orchid Board

OK, my Stan. candida has me a little concerned. It has been in bloom for the last 9 months or so! It just keeps sending out multiple spikes almost on a weekely basis! Is this normal or am I looking a gift horse in the mouth. I was just thinking that it should have started a growth cycle by now.

Thanks , Scott

Sounds awesome to me! From what I understand, Stans don't necessarily need a rest. I think they grow all year, but I may be wrong.

That's wonderful. Now don't jinx it. If it ain't "baroque" don't fix it

Endless flowers are good right??

We will have to confiscate that plant, do some - uh - testing on it....

Yes, Yes, this plant must be sent immediately to my Labratory for intense testing.

Sounds like you have found exactly how to please the Candida. Please post pics. I just got a guttulata in spike and a candida on the way, i sure would appreciate some pointers.

Here are some bloom pics over the past few months. Have had some issues with humidity lately so please excuse some of the dry tips.
