Hi bactrus,

The ID for this baby is Ceologyne rochussenii, usually flowering between september -December in Penang. I have one at home as well and it also flowers in October, but mine only have about 8 pseudobulbs and yours is a magnificent speciment.

A sifu has given me some tips on how to get more spikes for rochussenii. First, you have to put it under 50% shade from january-july and during this period, only feed it with high N fertiliser. From August-september, stop the high N fertiliser and start High P and K regime and by the end of september put it under full sun to stress it. I've tried it and it works and I got 7 inflorescence this year compared to just 2 last year. But your is already blooming at a grand scale so your feeding regime is good as well.

I'm currently offshore and my company server has blocked flickr, so I can't upload any photos. But I'll upload it when I got home.
