No, I actually had it hidden behind all my other orchids for the past few weeks. My research indicated that it only wants morning sun but high humidity. It gets humidity outside, but I can't provide accurate morning sun, so it gets very broken (through a lilac bush) sun throughout the day. It also gets light rain through the bush too. I must be doing something right! It went from straight spike to full bloom since I purchased
That is so beautiful! I'm very jealous. I'm trying to grow roots on one of mine and had to buy one in spike to maybe someday get a flower. You give me inspiration.
