Orchids can be Bastards

Not really, I have never been successful with the little jerks until I moved to San Francisco. While in LA I had a few and could never get them to bloom, which was very frustrating. Now my technique is as follows: water them when I forget the last time I watered them, and add fertilizer here and there. This scientific technique makes them freak out and bloom once to twice a year.

So I was told this guy was from Costa Rica. BUT its tag that I found in the soil after purchasing said Epidendrum corifolium, Guatemala. So I am more inclined to believe that, rather than the rando guy who sold it to me.
