I'm so excited!
I bought this chid 2+ years ago $10 at a yard sale. It was in sheath but never bloomed. Full of ants and who knows what else. Anyway I cleaned it up new pot the works. I waited and waited  ...last year full of sheaths again...no blooms  . This year full of sheaths again BUT,,,,,finally a bloom and it looks like more are coming. There was no name on it so I called it Noid 'Big Mama' and look what Mama gave me today  |

Big Mama is beautiful, Lorraine. 2 years of wating but well worth the wait, seeing how gorgeous this is. I have one almost identical to yours that I paid $30 for a few years ago as a B'day present to myself. Thought I was getting a deal too, the plant was big then, tremendous now. May have been the same grower, who knows? I got mine from a nursery in Delray.
Happy growing to you!

Hi Sandy, Do you have a name for yours? Might be interesting to see how much alike they are. |

I don't, Lorraine. I should have mentioned that. Let me look for a pic and I'll post back in a couple of minutes.
Hold on, going to go look for the pic........ |

Wow! Yours look great. What name do you have for it?? I'll be interested in seeing what the rest of my flowers look like IF they bloom. Then I can really compare them. |

Both are very nice, Lorraine's is more floofy and the deep red/fushia color encompasses the entire lip and Sandy yours is a bit more defined in the lip!
NOID or not, those are both lovely, enjoy the blooms  |
