Sophronitis cernua, second bloom of the year - Updated
Have had this plant for a few years. It has been a reliable yearly bloomer for the last 4 years or so. This is the first time it has bloomed twice in one year. As soon as I placed it in my new exoterra terrarium it started growing a new leaf. It blooms after every new growth. Infact the spike comes up at the same time the leaf opens.

Here is a full tank shot, the bloom is in the upper left corner, really small.

Congratulations! The flowers are beautiful. This is a really great little orchid. I bought one for the project last year and have become rather fond of it.

Looks like you got one of the miniera varieties which has that nice dark red coloration. How warm does this one get and often do you water?
Also, do you have a build thread for the tank?
