Ours are just barely showing the "buds that will become the buds", as it were. Unless it is going to be unusually warm, we probably need to wait at least another month, here.

The Hong Kong Orchid trees here started blooming in Oct. and will bloom until the early spring. This past summer many Hong Kong Orchid trees were in bloom due to the unusually cool summer. It was very strange!
