    This plant is definitely blooming size, I think.

    Mine has a bunch of red spots on the leaves and has a sheath that should bloom soon. Are you giving it enough light? Brassavola hybrids usually can take a BUNCH of light. Mine gets about 6 hours a day of direct sun.

    You know, our sun is so brutal that I have to hide almost all my plants under spanish moss (tillandsia usneoides).
    Maybe I should pull this plant out of shade.
    Thank you for your advice!

    Trust me, Fort Worth sun is much more brutal than Tampa Sun and our humidity is much lower. Bruce is right on the slow acclimation. Good luck!

    OK, I trust you! :-)

    Thank you for advice. I hope my plant will bloom in near future... the flowers are really stunning.
