Thanks Bob. Looking at the leaves, the two plants appear to be the same variety. It's been so long since the other one bloomed, I can't remember exactly what the flowers looked like, but I think they were similar in shape to these. They might have been fringed with lavender or magenta. Both plants are h in a north window and growing in orchid planting material, so I'll just be patient and see if the other one eventually blooms. It has grown larger over the years. I water lightly once a week and fertilize lightly about once a month.
