if I have a plant I can not bloom, I give it to someone else and get a different plant from another source,
Which is what I did. I usually give them two or three years.
I was wondering if any of the botanists among us had any more specific information. In the case of the B. nodosa seedling, there was apparently a glitch caused by inbreeding. I also wondered if anyone else has grown one of these Carter & Holmes seedlings.
As you also probably have discovered, there are plants which refuse to bloom for one grower and bloom like mad for another, sometimes under apparently similar conditions. In fact, there are some orchids that bloom better for me than in a greenhouse. Aren't orchids fun?
