Thanks Dorothy...it is quite compact for me, it is growing in a 4" clay pot, and has 4 leads. I can't wait for there to be multiple blooming spikes at the same time.  |

Thanks Rolando...no, it is not fragrant...but every time it blooms, I still stick my nose in it just in case it has changed its mind. |

Don't worry Jasen, you'll get your chance soon... ...these guys are frequent bloomers. This is the 4th time it has bloomed for me this year! Hopefully yours will follow suite. |

David, it's absolutely gorgeous! I love that lip. I have had this on my wish list for along time also. I'm tempted every time I look at the H&R plant list. Rustic Spots is another nice one that is similar. |

I am sorry but that is just so funny!
You know, being an orchid photographer has its unique problems.
I think it would be great to have one of those Exo Terra enclosures for lizards and such. . .it's just a screened box really. Something similar and maybe less expensive would be a great solution?  |
