Den. aggregatum majus
I have a Den. aggregatum that I got about a year ago out of bloom. Where
does the flower spike emerge on these? The pbulb behind the newest one has a little sprout started about half way up the pbulb. If this is not the flower spike, what is it? Thanks, Chris |

The flower spike occurs just above the half way mark of the pseudobulb. I didn't repot last year so that there are over two dozen bloom spikes, all in flower. You might know....there is no orchid show at this time around here. Another Chris |

Den. aggregatum (now known as lindleyi) typically blooms in early spring
(around now) after a winter dry rest. Most people that I know (including me) grow this mounted on cork or tree fern, since it has an unruly habit and does that little "staircase" number. A friend has one that completely covers its slab, all the way around. Sounds like you have a spike. Diana |

Chris,
I have two of these. When I purchased it originally and repotted it, the plant broke in half. One half I have tied to a piece of cork bark. The other half I have potted in a 4 inch clay pot with cocohusk and aliflor. This is the third winter I've had the plants and for the first time both are beginning to spike. Like you described there are spikes emerging about half way up the pseudobulbs. The potted plant has 3 or 4 spikes and the mounted plant has one so far. The mounted plant dried out a lot more than the potted one. The mounted one is about a month behind the potted one. I'm excited to see it bloom.
