Six years to flower when it should be in two. If it took nine years, would you wait for it?

That shy orchid and you together are a poem.

I would wait 9 too :). Either way that or throw it away. I wouldn't do that if it is a healthy plant.
The 2 years waiting is also an estimated time for young plants that they show in a shop when you buy one. All depends on the size of the seedling, conditions and how you treat it. She does have a hard time with me sometimes and I think I should fertilize it more often.
All good :)

I'd probably think it was dead by that time. I've had orchids before and they seem to be a very resilient plant but something always happens to mine

Yeaaa :D
At least she finally did it! And I did not kill it in the meantime :)

I tend to to kill mine or often forget to water them. When they're out they look beautiful, otherwise it looks like a dried up plant
