I think that mine has two spikes forming! Should become clearer in a week or two.

Just don't tell me yours is yellow as well....

This yellow variety is extremely common. It tends to start blooming in Oct./Nov. This one appears to be blooming late, although, I guess it can bloom anytime.

Oh please say it blooms many times a year over there.

Epidendrum hybrid orchids are the only orchids which bloom profusely all year here.
My neighbor has many hundreds which are always in bloom.

Yes, many hundreds! They have a large sections planted along the property fences and in the front yard (most are in the ground, some are in pots, also). I'll get some pics soon. Here's some pics I posted a couple of years ago.

Great! It should be blooming in 3 weeks or so?

Really! This is my first rebloom on this.

I think they bloom pretty quickly once they develop their spikes...that's my experience, anyway. :>)
