Keysguy, you’re probably right that it just has some years where it rests after a big blooming. The note about the rain is just anecdotal over the last four years on my one plant.
In any case, it does look like a good year on my aussie dens in general! Im excited for ‘spring’ here!

Life's been busy, so my online presence has decreased lately. Nonetheless, I have more freetime now.
Here's this week update, big bloom inbound!

Looks like your spike development is going really well. How tall are the two flowering growths?

about 2 foot long. 2.5 if I were to count the stem behind the blooms. About two chihuahuas for your imagination.
The first strand is now in bloom. Being a big dummy that I am, I dropped one bloom while entangling the buds that were knotted together. |

Jeff- That is going to be 'wicked pissah' as we say in New England. 
Mine has1 spike about a foot long and 3 more that are just barely starting to emerge from the crown. Why can't they coordinate? And why couldn't they be ready for this coming weekends show?  |

Overall perversity of orchids... they love to bloom a week after a show of drop flowers just before. Never leave a calendar anywhere near your growing area but sometimes they "just know". |

Sorry for the late update, but this was the show last week!
sadly the other two spikes didnt make it, which I kinda figured because this was a new division with barely any root after all. But seeing it bloomed satisfied me. Next up in line to bloom are the Kingianum type.
I also went to Sherman library yesterday and saw a row of Aussie Den in peak spikes, this is truly the Speciosum dream.
