I don't know if any of you recall that in late November I mail ordered a
cochleanthes amazonica, that came with five buds, and then proceeded to bud
blast and lost all of them. :-(

Well, I am very happy to report that today morning while watering it I have
discovered one new bud. Yay! :-) Since it is now on a regular watering
schedule, and its environment is not changing, I have hopes that this time
the bud will actually yield my first cochleanthes flower.

Just wanted to share the happy news.

Hi Joanna, The best is yet to come !!! cochleanthes usually make a bud
every 2 months or so-- (on a good sized plant{full 3" pot & up))
Doesn't want to be "overpotted" prefers rootbound. Good Luck, Bill
