This is hands down one of my favorite orchids EVER! It only has two blooms this year because it divided itself into two a small three-pseudobulb plant. Nevertheless, it's just awesome, I love everything about it!! And mine in particular has better, flatter form than any that I've seen before!! Enjoy!

That is awesome! What are you growing conditions for this one? Specifically, light, temps, media and resting period.

Yeah, I don't know why these aren't more common.

I really don't do anything special for this one! I grow it pretty much intermediate on all accords.

Light- High lower-end of Cattleya lighting.

Temps-Indoors in the winter, it's around 65-70 degrees in my bedroom. Some days a little warmer and some a little lower i can't control it.
I take this one outside in the summer, so it gets the full PA summer experience! It gets right up into the high 90's.

Looking back on it, I feel like it might have stopped growing for a little bit during those hot summer days.

Water-I keep this one moist. I water when the media starts to dry out, I never let it get completely dry.

Media- I keep this one in pure AAA New Zealand Sphagnum moss. It's in a pretty small pot

Resting period-What resting period? This one gets no rest.

An excellent example of the species, and easier to grow than usual it seems. So... what are you doing with that extra division?
