I like these postings, gives me a chance to see what should be blooming in my collection or what I can add to it for blooms now. I have the smallest number of plants blooming in Aug., many nobile den. in my collection. I'm suprised that Brasavola nudosa is booming now, I have a huge plant, 40"+ across plant that blooms profusely in once a year Dec/Jan. Is this a second bloom for yours or just a different cycle? All of my Brassias except Edvah Loo have bloomed this summer , when should it bloom? I have a large plant that has never bloomed. It is now outside in a flower or fry sun spot. In bloom: DEN. BRACTEOSUM (white) two flower clusters, 11, 13 flowers MTSSA KALEAPAA 5 spikes,1flower open, 4.8" tall (big!) BL. RICHARD MEULLER 2 spikes, 5 flowers, 1st bloom for me COL.WILDCAT'CARMELA'1spike 40"tall, 43 flowers, 2.3" each BRS.

Thanks Brooke and oh, nice orchid :-) Mine are in a fine orchiata mix with some peanuts at the bottom. One is in a 4" clear plastic pot and the other in a 5" decorative clay pot I had around. I'd think more light for mine might be the answer, and I'll make sure they don't 'dry' out. This is why I asked here, I had read on-line that they liked low light and that didn't seem to make sense to me based on past experience, and the leaves on a wenzellii (somewhat terrete) just look like they would like sun. Again thanks for the input. Bob

I would call Kawamoto Orchid Nursery and ask to speak with "Carol", she always helps me when looking for species. (808)7325808 or email them at orchids@kawamotoorchids.com I remember a while back they had some on ebay for sell. Hope this helps... Good Luck!

Cool! I guess that this means I need to expand my Dendrochilium collection! ;) Scott
