I've gotta bloom!
My Max tenuifolia has a bloom! [I know, you're probably thinking ... "UH dude. Chill. Those things bloom w/ ease."] I really didn't know if I was going to be able to get it to bloom -- I've had it over a yr now I think. I have no doubt that my conditions are less than ideal.
Mine seems "cuppier" than the ones I usually see pictured but it does have the characteristic coconut/suntan lotion fragrance.
(Please forgive the "twist tie" -- I'm trying to coax an errant root to grow into the moss.)
Much to my surprise, today I discovered that I have another bud well on the way and I think another trying to form!

Paul - could your Max. Ten. tell my Max. Ten. to get it's butt in gear and start blooming for me .. 
Actually I just got one a few months ago that is a division, so I don't expect it to bloom anytime soon

Paul, is this a hi light guy? I think I really need one like yours (one that blooms). I don't have this guy yet, but maybe this spring?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
