You're way more advanced in growth than we are in Northern Illinois. Three ariel leaves here, and no buds yet. Nice pics.

It's hard to feel sorry for someone living in Hawaii  ;)  At least you have fabulous leaves on your lotus....mine are toasting but still hanging in there.  I/m sure you get buds when you least expect it.  O0

Too embarrassed to share a photo  :'(

Yeah, hard to feel sorry for someone who has a late lotus and can have orchids growing like weeds next to it!  Here is my Mrs. PD Slocum blooming on the first day of summer!:



This is one of my favorites; the bloom changes every day.  It starts out pink and ends up yellow. and the progression is different on every bloom and season.  Here is the bud a day earlier, I think it is as pretty as a rose bud:



Yours will come soon, just don't let the Epidendrums crowd it out!

I have 8 buds/flowers on the monster lotus and the white unnamed that has not bloomed for 3 years has decided to bloom its head off... 9 buds and just starting throwing them out.  Just hang in there :)

Saw your pics over in the other thread, INCREDIBLE!!!   8-)~

I am sure we have all made Danny feel really bad now, although he can look outside and see that he lives in HAWAII and feel better!   lol
