I only have a few. A couple of sesquipedales (one std & one bosserii), which I have slowly grown from seedlings in 2" pots to finally BS (though no spikes yet). I repotted them in the spring, so I am hopeful for the coming season.
I have added a couple of hybrids in the last 12 months, and then:
I have an Aerangis modesta, also grown from small seedling in 2" pot. At some point it got top rot, but it set a basal keiki, which finally started growing faster about 2 years ago, so it reached blooming size last year.
In October I noticed a spike breaking. The spike is now about 15" long, but has not started to form the buds yet (9 months later!!!).
I might start a pool on when I will actually see a flower on this plant!
