Nice! I had one of those once. Finally gave it away as I could not get it to bloom. Grew like a weed for me but never a flower.

It is quite easy to flowering, your plants grow very well but not flowering is probably due to lack of sunlight, for the difficult case of flowering plants, I usually put in place with more light of day and watering restrictions.

I have my Maikai 'mayumi' mounted on drift wood. I used to keep it in nearly full sunlight like my brassavola and strap leaf vandas. Then when we moved, out of convenience I sat it in the corner with my oncidiums and bam I got a spike. So...maybe when they are growing they need sunlight, but when you want them to bloom give them abit more shade. In fact, mine gave it's nicest bloom in the garage last winter.

Have one of these on the way through the postal system as we write and hope to get it shortly. Wish to mount it like connie's and hope it does grow like a weed for me. Beautiful photo! It was a challenge to source and look forward to it blooming like yours (hopefully)!!!!
