A week or so ago I tried to post about this wonderful plant. In doing so I discovered that Photobucket went stupid, and wants users to pay a "hosting fee" to link. That's not happening, so I'm slowly migrating to a new host.
Anyway, Sophronitis cernua (also now called Cattleya cernua) is a sheer delight. Mine grow on my mini bench, where they are watered at least twice a day when growing/blooming. They sit where in the Summer the temperature may reach 90, while in the winter nights can drop to about 60-65, and the humidity never goes below about 55%. I have two plants, the one in bloom has two new growths, the second budding, and the other plant has three, all setting buds. I'd have to say that this is as easy to grow of an orchid as I've ever had, and I truly love it.
