It isn't common, but this hybrid can sometimes re-bloom on old spikes like the Epi pseudepidendrum parent. Don't cut old spikes until they dry out naturally and you may get some bonus blooms once in a while, even the next year.

Thanks Ron, he did, I did mention that his did beat mine in opening but I think he had one bud only, and mine has 4 huge ones, so all good:-))))

Carrie, I did mention, it really didn't bloom for me for 3 years, I did change last year culture - bright light, like cattleya, water often in active growth, adding seaweed once a month, and MagiCal also at least once every 2months. I did also sprinkle some Osmocote pellets for this one, it seems it appreciates this heavy feeding as it gave me these nice huge 4 blooms:-) I have it in medium bark and ceramic pot with holes on the side!

Good growing, Tommy. Mine always blasted its buds and it took up so much room I gave it away. I'll just enjoy your pictures.
