Sobralia season begins

Sobralia kruskayae opened it's first two flowers overnight.   It seems early for Sobralias to be opening here but I only got this species last year, so don't know if this is just an early bloomer or if the warm winter has it confused.   

I am curious if anyone else has experience with growing this species of Sobralia and if blooming now matches their history with it?

    A Sobralia macrantha is the second species to open in my garden for the spring of 2026. Anyone else seeing their Sobralia open?

    Beautiful plant, the search begins!

    Sobralia mirabilis is in bloom for me at the moment. Flowers last about 3 days and they bloom in succession.
