I have related before the story of my cymbidium which I've had for
over 15 years, which never flowered after the initial flower when I
bought it. 3 years ago it was so big that I split it into 5 and gave 4
away. All of those 4 flowered the last 2 years but mine did not.
I NOW HAVE A BUD COMING!
Can't say if it was following Bob's advice or just luck, but my
patience has paid off!

Whilst moving my Cymbidiums into the greenhouse last week I knocked a
flower spike of one of the standard (big) ones so that's probably
another year to wait for flowers. :-(


Oh, that's awful! I've done that with a Phalaenopsis and a Cimicifuga
years ago. It's so disappointing. No-one else to blame, either :~(.
