Hi Don, you can grow 'Limelight' here in Florida too, but it's a great excuse to go to Hawaii anyway. I might have an extra one if you want to try one let me know.

Great photo and growing Sunshine. I love the vibrant colors. Hawaii will probably get more visitors with pictures like yours.:biggrin:

You can add California to the list of places 'Limelight' grows too ;)

Mine has buds right now and was searching the internet to see what the blooms will look like, because I'm impatient, and after seeing yours I can't wait!

Thanks everyone for your complimentary comments. It's the blooming season time for this clone. The plants are hardy and easy growers. The blooms will last for couple of weeks although the dark chartreuse petals and sepals will fade to a lighter chartreuse.

Nice one Sunshine! Mine is currently in sheath. Last year it bloomed around the end of August so I'm expecting about the same this year. I find this one to not be terribly picky, though mine seems to like an annual spring repot to get it going.

Hi

That orchid is really an eye catcher. I would love to have one too but my chances of getting hold of one in Oz are practically nil. Lucky you.

Sue :goodluck:

My plant is blooming! It is popular in Taiwan. People who love nodosa and its cross usually have this one.
