When should it bloom?

[kazjak]

All of my Oncidiums have bloomed or are in the process of blooming except my Brassia Rex... Can you guys tell me what their natural blooming cycle is? I'm being hopeful that you'll tell me spring. The Plant is in S/H and very healthy. I also have new growth just starting. Does that mean I missed the flowering season?

According to my info, it blooms late spring-early summer. I've never grown one myself. Maybe someone with more experience can add to this.

Here they seem to bloom potentially either spring OR fall.

I haven't successfully re-bloomed my brassias. So, I can't help!

I have a Brassidium with B. rex as one of the crosses. Mine blooms in the fall.

Count me in with the 'haven't rebloomed mine yet' group. But I do have 2 new pbulbs developing nicely.

I guess I'll hope for a new spike shortly. Or maybe two spikes next year! Thanks everyone. When I get home today I'll take a picture of the plant for you.

Here's pictures of my Brs. Mem. Fritz Boedecker. Nice plump healthy growth with a new growth at the bottom... By the way.. beautiful blooms exasperatus2002! I can only hope mine rewards me some day like yours has.

most Oncidium alliance plants can put up new growth while flowering at the same time. The new growth does not mean you missed flowering season, only that it is healthy

My Brassia was full of bloom when I bought it last April. I have new growth galore, but not spikes that I can even begin to see. My Brassia is a much lighter green than those in the pictures. Do I have it in too much sunlight? The new growths, anywhere from 2 inches to 7 inches tall are a darker green.

Mid to late spring is what I expect here in Fla. kazjak.
