Can't summer on balcony, wind too much of a killer. Not sure what
changed. Only can guess that it waited a bit longer to spike until the
days got longer, or spring was a bit sunnier this year.

Eeyore,

Congratulations! Did you summer it outside? Is that what changed between
this year and last?

Folks may remember a while back that I posted about an Orchid of mine
that grew a very long spike that then died without any flowers last year.
It seemed to be doing the same thing this year. But lo and behold it
flowered this year. From my untrained eye it appears the person who
identified it as an Encyclia was spot on.

Attached is a photo by the proud Popa. With my shaky hands, small camera,
and small flowers, not the clearest shot, but gives you the idea. Thanks
to everyone for all your help.
