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.
This site is intended to share with people my experiences with trying to grow orchids in a climate that is not-so-perfect for orchids. Riverside California has severe temperature swings following the seasons that will probably kill most orchids unless proper care and protection is provided. Unless specifically stated, materials posted in the blog are from personal observations and experience and are not meant to be educational material. I am not responsible if you kill your orchids. :)
