This is one of the first "blues" in my collection to bloom.
It did bloom last year, but the flower quality was not that great and a few petals were even deformed.
So I am considering this as the first "official" blooming of this plant.

I'm still here :)

I have received several inquiries as to why I don't post new bloom pictures more frequently.
Well, I dont have a lot of plants to begin with. I probably have around 200 or so.
And most of them are cattleyas and dendrobiums that all bloom around the same time of year.
So I end up with posts with a lot of flowers at the same time, and then there are months when I have nothing to post.

I believe that it is more meaningful to post something of value than to post something just for the sake of posting something.

Thanks for your understanding,
John
