K. Christi - well, it's blooming again! One medium bloom today but several visible buds. My question - will we get a 4th blooming this year? Why not?

I took the long dirt road and hiked down an access road last time, ending up at an old house with alligators on the porch! I even shot a photo of a pond apple germinating in the eye socket of an alligator's skull. <br />There were so many great tillandsias, catopsis and guzmanias there that I forgot to even look for orchids!Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134083639420431298.post-34078657532911332422010-07-03T05:11:29.616-04:002010-07-03T05:11:29.616-04:00Hi Prem, I didn't realize you had a blog, welc...Hi Prem, I didn't realize you had a blog, welcome to Blotanical!
