This year's bloom is only 2 flowers since last year I ripped this plant into 3 or 4 sections and kept the nicest one. I remounted it onto a piece of hardwood but most of the roots seem to have grown onto the rock behind it so its stuck!! I didn't want to rip it off the rock so I just took the pics 'in situ.' As you can see in the first pic, its also overgrown with weeds right now. ![Blushing](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/blushing02.gif) The 3rd pic is pretty cool and is just a closeup of the fuzzy lip. These guys smell very strongly of a pleasant citrus/lemon scent at night and are very slow growing. Enjoy!

Great job Steve, love the flowers. Have 2 digbys and I'm hoping I will get some flowers this year, if not will just have to settle for looking at yours.

It's great to see it in-situ. It looks great against those rocks.

Good job of growing Steve. I haven't had much luck with digbyanas.

I've always wanted one. A friend has a very large plant, waiting for him to divide. LOL!

Just mount them and throw 'em in the sun! No shade. They love it!

Thanks Steve. No shade? That must be my problem. I'll take your advice the next time I get my hands on one.
