It took a couple weeks, but soon enough my orchid was fully bloomed. The plant, in the end, has 48 separate blooms. It would have more, but early on in the process I accidentally broke off one of the first branches. Still, I think it worked out nicely.
(You can also see my smashing african violet. It is doing quite well.)
[Update: I should mention that the flowers are starting to fade. It seems short, but when I look back, it has indeed been about a month.]
