Bulb. lobbii "Kathy Gold" AM/AOS

[Chian]

I took this photo two months ago.

My friend shared this Bulb.to me. In my friend's garden, this one grow well but never bloom for several years. So I give this Bulb. more sunshine in my home, and it had one flower this year, only one. So I think this one is a easy to grow, but not easy to flower.

This lobbii were awered AM, but I think the other lobbii of mine is much better than it. I'll show you latter.

Very nice, Chian. I love seeing pictures of orchids that I don't grow and don't intend to grow. It's like getting to have the best of the plant for free! More pictures are always welcome

BTW - on this one I'll steal BD's love of aliens, and say that it somewhat reminds me of the "alien" in an old SciFi film.. made in the early 50's probably.. I remember it had Peter Graves in it and was about an alien from Venus...hiding in a cave... and it used weird flying things to stick controllers into the back of peoples necks...(similar to the things in the necks of people in the film Invaders from Mars) Guess you can tell I spent my youth watching too much late night TV!

WOW!

Okay - I know I'm wayyyyy off the subject of the thread, but just couldn't help myself. I found a picture of that alien I was talking about. I never knew that there were websites totally dedicated to B grade SciFi movies!

Diane,
Your photo is so great, they are almost the same! Where do you find this photo? BTW, don't let your kids watch so much late night TV or they will be like you.......

bench72,
Before you give more light, remember do not put it under direct sunlight suddenly, it may burn the leaves. Step by step and slowly increase the light may be safer.

jenn,
I am not sure, can you take some pictures of it? How long do you grow it? Have you ever repot it? Does temperate drop low suddenly? Hpoe we can find out the reason together!

Thank you, I will post photos on a new thread in the problems section. Thanks again
