Hi Roly,
I bought mine from a society member that was moving and selling his last year. Also picked up 1 from someone else moving. Didn't know what it was till it bloomed. They both struggled but are doing fine now. 1 in a pot the other mounted. I love when these bloom. I'll keep you in mind if I have another division maybe next year or find one. |

 Today I met a nice lady who lives near me that grows Catts and Dens. Her name is Gale Tillman (Coconut Orchids). First thing I saw when I walked through the door was a 'Limelight'. It was love at first sight! I walked around the whole place, but bought that plant on the way out. It has 2 spikes with 3 buds on each. It is growing in a coconut! |

Nice purchase. Enjoy your flowers. It looks like the blooming season for the 'Limelight' is the same in Florida as it is in Hawaii. A couple of others are in bloom in my collection. They stand out because the inflorescences are tall and flowers are held above the foliage.

Thanks! Does it open darker green then fade to lighter green? I know what you mean about the tall spikes. I love that. All 3 buds on one spike are open now. Probably a few more days on the other. Do they last long? I hope so. It would be nice to have 6 blooms all at once!

Seems like mine lasted at least a month last year. I can't remember for sure though.

 Thanks Don. By the way, I will be going up to Tallahassee next week. Are there any good orchid-y things to do up there? Is Callaway Gardens a nice place to see? |
