Beauty!
What is the size of the plant and the flowers?
What are your growing conditions?
Thanks  |

What a lovely little thing, Juan! Maybe just a week or so makes one appreciate it all the more.

Thanks to all for the nice comments. The plant can grow big, the seudobulbs are club sape and about 5" long and very thick, the flowers are 4.5" and the flower stems can grow to 1 m long (40 in?). I have it mounted in a pice of mexican red oak and during the growing period has to be very humid (60-70%) until the flowering season which is the Fall when you have to reduce the humidity and stop the fertilizing.
Susane thanks for asking, I'm doing fine, just very busy at work.
The best for you all
Saludos desde Mexico

Juan,
It's a beauty, and one of my favorites. I'll try to attach a picture of mine that bloomed last February (let's see if it works).
I don't know what part of Mexico you are in, but is it possible to grow outdoors there? We sometimes go down to Alamos (far southern part of Sonora, almost at Sinloa border) and there are some terriffic large plants, mostly Catts and Laleias, "naturalized" on trees in some of the courtyards and around town.
Thanks for sharing your picture.
