Gongora leucochila

Beautiful display there, Steve. These and Stanhopeas are my biggest curiosities, this year. I've been told that Gongora's would be great for my conditions and I know I'm going to get one soon...the only thing holding me back is that little thing called, space. These are low light growers, right?

Space is definitely an issue with these guys, though you can always divide them and give/trade/sell the peices to other orchid addicts. As for light, like the Stans, these guys have an rap for low light, though I grow mine in mid Cattleya light and they seem to flourish.

Thanks Steve. I will have to check out their site and give them a call....

Wow! I love these. Yours look very healthy looking! Like Sandy, I would buy one if I had the space.

Picked up a medium sized one of these last month in Tampa. I'm hoping it might bloom next year.

Any idea how fast these grow?
