Rlc. Hawaiian Passion 'Carmela' in bloom
I do love me some green orchid flowers!  2 spikes, 5 blooms - unfortunately these tend to be a bit crowded together. This is a compact bifoliate.
I've had this about 6 years; it's one of my outside orchids (protected from weather extremes - frost, freeze, cold winter rain, afternoon sun during extremely hot weather); so it's very temperature tolerant
Potted in coconut husk chips mix; allowed to approach dry in-between waterings; gets some mid-afternoon sun.
Thanks for looking  |

Thanks
I hope yours doesn't have too long to go - it was an odd, undersized bit (tho, from a bloom size plant) - which is why I took it off, plus the one new growth at the time I did that had been growing horizontally beneath the media surface, and was completely white (!!), and bunched up - I didn't really expect it to survive - but it actually did well!
Well, the blooming growths are still nice and green, and clean, as those are the most recent ones - old growth is not so clean, and on or two growths have some burn on them.
Mine gets some direct mid to late afternoon sun, a bit of dappled light after that.
