Finally blooming..........This orchid I bought from Home Depot over three years ago, so long ago I could not remember what it looked like as it has not bloomed since and had no tag. It continued to grow like a weed but would not bloom. It was because of this plant that I decided I needed a new growing area for plants requiring more light. So this is proof the extra light did the trick. When I repotted it a few months ago I found a tag curled up in the bottom of the pot, Bllra. Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy' ----could this be the right tag----hummm. Well it was the right tag and that now means I have two of them (both in bloom at this time). This one now has about 30 pseudobulbs, (old and new), many of which are just coming into spike.
Well, thats gonna be one heck of a show. Do you have any pictures of the 30 pseudobulbs? Those flowers are really nice!

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.)
Very nice flower. A plant with 30 psuedobulbs must love love what you are doing! I imagine you are going to have a nice show of flowers soon, congrats!
