Default Non stop Stanhopea

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.

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.
