Mine is in bloom now too. I brought it in from the greenhouse when the first of 3 spikes was almost fully open. It hasn't seemed to mind. It was getting quite warm days in the 80's and then nights to maybe 60 and now its in the house at about 72. The 2nd spike is now fully open.
I'm assuming you are referring to the pink or purple flowered one. If so, it was actually re-named Onc. sotoanum and the other name actually belongs to a small yellow and brown flower. Apparently the wrong photo was attached when the registration was sent in which resulted in this purple flower being mis-named for years. It is still commonly called and sold as ornythorhynchum but thought you might want to know its real name (if in fact its the pink one you refer to).
I hope you post pics when this blooms as it sounds like it will be impressive!
