Thought I would post some orchid news. I bought this plant in February of 2010 and the blooms lasted quite a while, then dropped off. I'd read that orchids renew themselves, so I set to test that theory. I carefully watered the plant, placed it in a south-facing window, and watched as leaves dropped off, then grew again. About four months ago, I noticed a new plant spike emerging. Soon, it sported some buds. And last week, those buds began to bloom!
There are still about six flowers waiting to appear. Not a bad result from very little effort and a bit of patience.
