    I like the second picture... I can see myself making a fresh cup of tea, and sitting next to the desk, enjoying my afternoon.

    Thanks.
    The previous bloom was in April. You can still see the old flower stem from the pseudobulb on the right.
    I'm not sure yet if this plant likes a 6 month blooming cycle or if this one is just a really late, out of season bloom.
