so sorry to hear that, steph.....cuz, i know how long i had to wait for my first blooms to come.....these plants are epiphites in nature....growing in the crotches of trees.....the less you dote on them the better they do.....

the first blooms i ever saw were of my neighbor's....she had it in a too small pot and just baking on the driveway.....i went home, gave it no water,no fertilizer,never again repotted it, and cussed it up one side and down the other till it budded for me..........
