| I got this semi/alba from EOoM, in 2003 and this is the second blooming for me. This one requires full sun in winter, now that I have figured this out it should bloom every year. wonderful scent too. Enjoy...~Charm |

| Beautiful! I love these orchids and have a few. I cannot get them to bloom. Maybe it is the winter sun which is lacking. I'll give them another year before throwing in the towel. So lovely - great growing Charm... Jane |

| Very pretty. Since they need full winter sun, they won't go on my 'got to have' list. Marci |

| That's so pretty. When did it put on the flowering growth? I'm imagining it has a lovely scent too. John |

| John, this orchid puts on new growth in very early spring, it will bloom on new growth and old.~Charm |

| I found a site that says that "in the United States, growth begins in early February and is completed by mid-May." Does this correspond to your experience? |
