Took a picture today, blooms have been so long lasting that i'm surprised.

Nice Elitebettas. I've had one in bloom with 5 spikes since Sept. It is just staring to loose
its flowers now.

I had purchased one from Lowe's late last winter, in bloom. Hard to say how long it had been in bloom but still went quite a spell for me. When the flowers were done, I had some concern as it seem to be drying up. Don't know if that was normal, but I repotted the plant and now has some new growths popping out. It will be nice to see it bloom again. As your photo shows, I like those flower sprays.

I have a Howeara 'Lava Burst' as well, it is just getting it's 3rd bloom since I brought it home in May from the orchid society meeting. I guess the little guy really likes me eh?

I have one too! I bought I bought it out of bloom in a nursery for a great deal and never knew what it was. It now has buds and I just found a similar plant at a different nursery. I'm so excited to find out what it is!! I cannt wait till it blooms!

This is an orchid that is known for blooming several times a year.

A large plant seems to be always in bloom.
