Spike and buds but no flowers!

You need one in your life Gemini! You might not get the scale but the flowers are like 12cm each way. Lovely.

I gave it a light water today to be sure, thanks for the heads up on that.

Very beautiful! Congrats.

I saw one and passed it up this weekend in favor of this:



Now I'm wishing I'd gotten both! If I see it again, I'll pick one up.

That's Banfieldara Gilded Tower 'Mystic Maze'

I believe this one just got reclassified, but I cannot remember the spelling for the new name. If I recall correctly, it's a hybrid of Brassia, Ada and Odontoglossum.

This hybrid was specifically created for indoor growing. From what I understand, a lot of the spider orchids need a lot more humidity than can be provided indoors. This one is totally perfect for how I grow orchids, and I could not pass up these crazy green and burgundy blooms!

No, absolutely not! You should not run to the nearest place that sells them and get one, because you don't need one in your collection at all.

I like the Ithan type. Bit more subtle than the Tahoma Glacier normal.

I am on the hunt for Mystic Maze now though....
