Thanks everyone, Bill, this plant has never blossomed before so I have nothing to go on. It has been growing in much the same conditions as your elephantinum, so *maybe* this will be THE year, although it seems as if I should be seeing some sign by now.........one thing I've discovered about orchids, they will do what they want, when they want. LOL
