    Default Trigonidium egertonianum

    This is the fourth year this has bloomed for me, it will now bloom until July. There are about 12 blooms with another 20 spikes, it will continue to put out spikes and blooms well into the summer. I repotted last spring from a 10 inch clay pot into a 12 inch basket, it has filled in nicely over the summer and fall.

    Thanks Chris, I did not know when I first bought this that it bloomed for so long, it is a very huge bonus!

    Not at all commonly seen Maxillaria relative. That's a whole lotta plant, but the long flowering period makes it worth some space if you have it to spare. Thanks for posting.

    Thanks Kirk! I will keep finding a space for this orchid, the tree limb it is hanging from looks like it could break soon as the plant looks lower each time I walk by it, so I will have to locate another spot before too long.

    Thanks Zain, it is an easy one to grow give it the right light and it takes off, with the other benefit of blooming for at least 7 months!
