Looks good! You will definitely have to post more pics when the flowers open up more.

Nice growing! That is really eye-catching. I have a small expansum that hasn't bloomed for me yet but I'm surprised to see that color -- was expecting a creamy-white!

Great colour !! Superior clone. Where do you hibernate them- I mean, is your living room that warm and do you give artificial light ?

[WhiteRabbit]

Awesome! Good growing!

Thank you
The colour is dark blood red and i just love these flowers. The spike dropped some of the buds and i was affraid some of the flowers would fall of also, so i just had to post a picture before they where fully opened.
euplusia : Nearly all of my orchids are in my "greenhouse" and i have artificial light,three fans for aircirculation and an electric heater.
This picture is from last spring so there is a few more orchids out there , but nearly all my catasetinas lives on the shelves you see against the lower wall.

Great setup, ingse! Lots of happy, healthy plants.
