Beautiful.
I thought it was the Cymbidium flower stalk you broke????

Nah.........it was this one! Waited two years for it to stop growing and bloom instead, then broke it trying to straighten it up!
Talking of Cyms, my second one is just opening!

Hm. Is this old age settling in????

Lucky you, I made a boo boo with my Cym. I'm not going to see any flowers this year. One of these days I will get things right.

What did you do?

26 Jan, 2012

 

Not telling.

I remember when you broke that stem Meanie! Thank goodness it's flowering again though, it's a beauty. I had one this colour once. I do love orchids, but I just don't like having them hanging around, not flowering and looking sad on my windowsill!

Stick them outdoors for the summer then! Helps get them blooming again.

Frost Alex?

Aww! Bet you were crushed when you broke it Meanie..still, look at her now. Lovely.

Repoted at the wrong time. I think I lost two flower spikes. Moved it to a cooler part of the house now, I "think" there is a new flower spike?!?!

Thanks chaps!

P/nel - I was!!!
Amy - only the stupid make the same mistake twice!!
Alex - Job to tell when they're small, but at the very least you'll have a new pseudobulb which is where next years blooms come from!

26 Jan, 2012

 

Never even thought of that! :) Bit cold here though....remember last June July and August we didn't get above 15....oh lordy that was awful!!

26 Jan, 2012

 

Meanie, I have five new pseudobulbs but one of them is a different shape and color. But you're right...job t tell when they're small.

27 Jan, 2012

 

They'll love it in a shady spot Karen.

Five! You're doing something right Alex!

27 Jan, 2012

 

Please tell me I'm not going to mess this "right" thing now that I moved it!!!

27 Jan, 2012

 

Cool is always good with Cymbidiums Alex!

27 Jan, 2012

 

I moved it back, it wasn't getting enough sun.

27 Jan, 2012

 

My second Cym is almost in full bloom!

28 Jan, 2012

 

You make me so jealous sometimes!!! Well, I counted six pseudobulbs today!

28 Jan, 2012

 

Six new pseudos? Now I'm jealous!!!

29 Jan, 2012

 

Thanks HB!
Me too but it's becoming a bit of a triffid is this one!
