Hi Julie!
No surprise there that Mildred is a BIG girl! Big girls and boys give off big blooms! Sounds like you scored an amazing purchase with that Mildred, a four sheaths plant in an 8 in pot! By the next growth cycle and proper light treatment, this plant could easily win blue/green ribbons in any orchid contest! I am glad you enjoy the plant and as an added bonus, it will bloom soon for you!
There is nothing wrong with having lot of catts. They are the Queens of all the orchids! (But do you know who the Kings are? Bishops and Knights?)
I also have the phal. aphrodite. Very pretty!
Cheers. Hoa.
