I live in birmingham, UK and I grow mine outside all year, just sheltered from rain and the worst of the frost. And they bloom every year like clockwork :-)

hmm. That makes my largest catasetum an oddball since it flowers mid-summer (in bud now) and then usually again at the end of the season. It is marked as macrocarpum but i rather fancy it is a...

Also, try to avoid Sanderiana hybrids if you can because they are difficult to bloom. The little intergenerics do well though, Neostylis, etc. Try vase culture, there is a thread about it on here...

You often find first blooming flowers on Phals peloric, but i can't say I have ever seen it on a Vanda. I guess it's worth waiting for the next blooming to see whether it puts itself right.

Sansai blue will bloom 2 or 3 times a year. I have just ordered Pak chong blue so we will see how that performs for me. Mikasas do very well, they are cast iron vandas.
