Can't take credit for blooming it, I bought it that way...this past weekend...for $13.50!!!!! It has a huge softball sized pbulb with two bloom stalks and lots of babies forming around it. I also bought a NOID Tolumnia hybrid ($2 bargain bin find @ Lowes that has a broken bloom spike), an Epi. Mabel Kanda 'Miyao' x Enc. Randianum (Randii?) and an Onc. Ampliatum.
