Culture Notes . . . Well actually, nothing special (there are no magic potions or formulas)!! As soon as the weather breaks, I start moving all of my plants outside. They are in a shaded area (some under an actual shade cloth, others are shaded by trees in my backyard. I do use a misting system to water the plants for 30 minutes early every day. Little to no fertilizer. As the fall temperatures start to drop, I bring all of the plants inside. Most under artificial lighting (mix of LED daylight and growlights). I am working on raising the humidity during the winter.
I struggle terribly with insect pests when the orchids are brought indoors!
Mistking
Looking for a misting system? Look no further. Automated misting systems from MistKing are used by multitude of plant enthusiasts and are perfect for Orchids. Systems feature run dry pumps, ZipDrip valve, adjustable black nozzles, per second control! Automatically mist one growing shelf or a greenhouse full of Orchids.
All, thanks for the kudos! I just joined this forum and this is my first post. I am noticing that the image is upside down! Any ideas on how to correct this? Image is right side up before I imported it. Took picture with Samsung S5.

And I was all set to make a joke about you vacationing in Australia at the time. No doubt someone in Oz was getting ready to make a similar joke about you being in the USA!
Fantastic specimen! Beautiful! Just wondering - do you have the hybrid name? Beautiful plant, with or without a name.
"Orchid Whisperer", This one did not have a hybrid name when purchased. However, since I purchased directly from the wholesaler, there is a chance that they will be able to provide an id when I visit them this weekend.
