This is my Neostyles "Lou Sneary" Bluebird in bloom
Bought this a couple of years ago and have had it bloom multiple times. This is at least the second time this year it has bloomed. It's in a clay pot with bark and other orchid potting material. I usually soak it in water for 30 min once a week except when it's in bloom or going to bloom and then I soak it on Sun and Wed. Had two bloom stalks this time, but the second (and smaller one) died off after the biggest one started blooming. I try to use slightly warm water to soak it in. Hope some of this helps those of you trying to get yours to bloom. Oh, it's in a west facing window and the room temp is usually around mid 60's to lower 70's.

Beautiful show of blooms...I had mine flower last summer; I am expecting it to spike any moment now...this is a hybrid made for the florists and cut flowers sellers that is why it can bloom several times a year...

Mine bloomed about two weeks ago and the flowers are still holding up. I grow it under vented glass and the smell near the vents is amazing! What an awesome show of blooms!
Thanks for sharing.
