Now that's a pretty awesome looking orchid flower. The color and shape make for a great combination. Very cool.

Thanks everyone!

Steve & Cody: I would say this one is pretty temperature tolerant, I grow it outdoor double potted under about 80% shade (guessing) along my other Catts in the summer, the temperature got up to 100F occasionally and often at the 90sF during day time and dropped back to around 80F at night, humidity was around 50% during day time. In winter time, I moved it indoor inside my orchid case with medium LED light and about 85% humidity with air movement by a computer fan. Hope this helps.
