| I have two nice Gongoras that I have bloomed over and over again that I need to move. One is a Gongora chocoensis, currently in spike with 15 buds and the other is a Gongora truncata. This one is not currently in spike but will be in a month or two if it is on schedule. It typically blooms with 20-25 flowers on a single spike. I have had up to two spikes at one time.
These are adult plants that have bloomed multiple times. They are both in 8" slatted teak baskets potted in 100% sphag. Here are a couple of shots of the chocoensis on a previous blooming (named for its chocolate scent - NICE)! This chocoensis has a nice dark "eye"!
Here are a couple of photos of the truncata on a past blooming. Both of these plants are larger now then when these photos were taken.
I can take photos of the plants as they are today and send them if you wish. Would like to trade for Stanhopeas or ???. You may email me directly at rusafe@verizon.net. Thanks and Happy New Year!

| HELP! I have a large Gongora cassidea, it is certainly blooming size, but it has yet to do anything but grow bigger and bigger. What do you do to trigger the flowers? Growing Conditions: Thanks! |

| I'm growing under very similar conditions indoors. I have potted in sphagnum moss so that the plant never dries out but I know of others that pot in straight bark. Mine are growing under triple Colortone flourescent lights and get some direct sunlight from a morning sun. I have never heard of your species. I see that it is refered to as the "helmut-shaped gongora" from Jay's species site. Maybe others on some of the other forums have had luck with this species. Be patient, grow the roots and you will be rewarded! |

| Hi, I was curious if you still had the Gongora's left? I have a few Paphs that I can trade. I have photos of some of the plants in bloom. I am interested in chocoensis but will gladly trade for the truncata as well. Health and happiness, Dory |
