I can't wait to see if it flowers for me again.
My other orchid which is a dyed royal blue (I didn't know it was dyed or I wouldn't have asked for it for my birthday) is currently about to bloom 
The stalk is MASSIVE! I can't begin to describe how excited I was when I saw the plant was flowering!
They're definately worth looking into!
What light source do you use for your plants.
