When do they flower?

The general answer is "no", indicating that there is a deficiency in your overall culture.

Fill us in on light, humidity, watering frequency, feeding (concentration, formula, frequency), and temperatures , and we might be able to help.

i can't remember who is was.... had an orchid that was fat and happy and bloomed like clockwork--every five years. ;-)

I was given these orchids and I don't know what kind they are.... They are kept in pots inside the house in winter and put outdoors in filtered shade in the summer. I have 5 pots now of the same flavour and the stocks look healthy. They are in a bark mulch and I feed them starting in the spring of each year with Spoonit for orchids in bark. The orchids are cream with reddish colours. I live in the northwest (Vancouver, Canada) and these orchids have healthy leaves, but usually only bloom about every second year. I'll try and take a digital photo of them and try to paste it on this site if that is OK. The 5 pots are from the original one as they get pot bound and then I separate them. Someone did say that they heard that they bloom only when pot bound. This could be the case. Anyway thanks for any help you can give with this vague discription by a novice who doesn't know the proper name.
