Predicting blooming size by leaf span can be difficult, as there is not only tremendous variation between the different species, but clonal variation within a species. Differing growing conditions between growers can also produce 'blooming size' plants at different rates. Also, vendors have independent ideas about what constitutes 'blooming size', based on their particular growing conditions. Obviously only limited generalizations can be made within ranges as wide apart as the diminutive Paph.

Florida red tide blooms can last days, weeks, or months and can change daily due to wind conditions. Onshore winds normally bring it near the shore and offshore winds drive it out to sea.
