I was given these orchids and I don't know what kind they are.... They are
kept in pots inside the house in winter and put outdoors in filtered shade
in the summer. I have 5 pots now of the same flavour and the stocks look
healthy. They are in a bark mulch and I feed them starting in the spring of
each year with Spoonit for orchids in bark. The orchids are cream with
reddish colours. I live in the northwest (Vancouver, Canada) and these
orchids have healthy leaves, but usually only bloom about every second year.
I'll try and take a digital photo of them and try to paste it on this site
if that is OK. The 5 pots are from the original one as they get pot bound
and then I separate them. Someone did say that they heard that they bloom
only when pot bound. This could be the case. Anyway thanks for any help you
can give with this vague discription by a novice who doesn't know the proper
name.

My orchids only flower every second year, is this normal?
