Sorry about the average quality, just took this picture with my phone whilst going upstairs.

Beautiful flowers. I love the colors and the form. Good growing!

Well done!!

Be prepared to move it to a larger spot in a few years...it can get quite big. Here is mine from last year's blooming and it's gearing up for an even bigger show this year.

To get an idea of the size...the tree fern totem I have it on is a little over 17" long.

Side note...they've changed the name on this one...the accepted name is now Epidendrum centropetalum. And, yours is very pretty.

Nice plant wauw I don't think it's going to fit in the vivarium for long

You have a lovely version as well! The lobes on yours are very...'spiky'! If you know what I mean

And thank you for the update on the name, gonna update my list tonight!

Thanks! I've had this one for 3 or 4 years (or, maybe it's been 5?) and it just gets better and better each year. Grows really well and pretty much fuss free.

As for your's home in the vivarium...yep...it'll need a new place to hang out before too long.
