Wow, gorgeous!!!!! I love that color. Does it smell like oranges too? 
Now doesn't spending its time prostrate on the ground lead to deformaties on orchid lips?

You know that spring is right around the corner when aurantiaca blooms. Very lovely Gin.

Wow, what a vivid orange. I have one of these somewhere in my little greenhouse, and look forward to the day it blooms and I can label it. The hurricanes of 04 & 05 blew many of my labels into the next county.

HI
I just purchased one of these, small size, without flowers and I can only hope it looks like this in a year. Can you give me any good hints on keeping it alive and well. Seems ot be potted in bark and has what appears to be 2 new stems coming out at the base. Its in a 1.5" pot, plastic with bark
Thanks
