I Have a Sharrie Baby that had 7- 3' spikes and is just finishing up. Mine seems to like lots of bright light with some sun and lots of fresh air. Sometimes they just want to wait and bloom when they feel like it. Orchids are funny that way!!!

Your question was answered on the gardenweb site.

Great orchid too!

Tommy I find that my oncidiums bloom much later in the summer. You still have plenty of time. I had several Sherrie Babies in bloom last October, so there is plenty of time.

I know that there are no commercial growers in Florida or Hawaii that have any budded plants for sale just now, so they also have later blooming.
