Sharry Baby, 8 spikes

Hi , Just wanted to share a picture of my Sharry Baby have had it for at least 4 years blooms all the time. and i have never repotted it probadly needs it bad but it continues to grow and bloom well. it isn't in full bloom yet but some of the first spikes are open and it smells wonderful. it has 7 spikes and noticed yesterday it is putting up another. not the best picture could not get it all in the picture,but maybe you can get an idea of it size. The first picture is one of my Tillandsias
it has blue blooms and it also blooms all the time. and the second is Christ Church from Carter and Holmes, the first bloom in several years it had crown rot and there were only 2 leaves and pseudobulbs left never thought it would survive but here it is.the third is a Vanda V.pranermperai or thats the name on the tag.got at Lowes about a month ago and it is spiking sure was a surprise to find it Thanks for looking. Tommy

Hi Tommy, thanks for posting your pics, the plants all look in fine condition. Love the little blue flowers on the Tillandsia.

You have a great collection of very healthy plants. 8 spikes!!!! How nice!!!!

I have a couple of Tillandsia but they are nowhere near that size. Their flowers are purple though.

Thanks for the pictures and wish you a continued success.

I am red with envy. I love Shari Baby but it doesn't do well for me. Don't know what I am doing wrong. It wasn't doing well 2 years ago so I went to re-pot it and it fell into two parts. I potted up each in its own pot and it hasn't been the same since. Had plenty of back bulbs on each plant and it has put out moderate growth but never bloomed again. Everything around it bloomed. My wife LOVESSSSSSS chocolate & is wondering when those chocolate thingys will bloom again. Oh well, I will keep trying. Maybe next year they will mature enough to bloosom.
