Rhynchostylis retusa
This is a first re-bloom for me of this one. I got it last January at the Ft. Lauderdale Orchid Show. It has 32 flowers on the inflorescence.

I'm super happy about it because I wasn't even sure I could keep this one alive. I grow it outside on a high-rise balcony facing east. It likes daily watering in the blazing hot Miami summer.

Thank you, Ron. Coming from you, that is a big compliment. The one you posted a few days back is much fuller and more beautiful. I hope to get this one to look like yours one day.

Hi, you will get it too bloom as good in a season or two, mine took quiet a few years to get too a good flowering size.
with the warm climate of Florida, you are half on the way!
Best of luck next flower season as they are very pretty!
