I will definitely give it a try, Gene, although I have a hard time
singling-out plants for individual culture.

Ray,

After seeing the pics on abpo I would think it's time for you plant to
have a nice cold winter and dried out. That may be what it takes to make
it bloom.

Rod Venger gave me a seedling many moons ago. It's in a basket, hung up
with the vandas, and growing bigger by the 'bulb (they're at 18"-20"
now), but still no flowers.

Not good, not good. I have a couple of flasks worth of plants of Den
speciosum X Den Ira Butler that I was hoping to start seeing flowers on
this winter. They already are the largest plants in my Den section.
Sounds like it might be a few more years; more repotting and larger
pots. My question is just how cold do they need to get to set spikes. I
am growing them in a greenhouse which does not go below 62 F. The
kingianum and its hybrids bloom fine in this greenhouse. I have a
couple of flasks of Den speciosum X Den Ivory in 3 inch pots and am
wondering if I should cut and run. There is always room for one more
plant in the compost pile.
