Thanks for sharing the pic...enjoy your blooms!

I've had this going on 2 years, this is it's 2nd blooming for me. It's hard to say what grows easiest. For me lowii seems to grow well and will do well on a windowsill. It does get rather large after a while. Delenatii is a fairly good grower and reliable bloomer also. I'm partial to the multi florals, they do well for me and there is something about the long twisty that just makes me smile.

Terri, It's at least 5 years old. It had bloomed once already when I picked it up from Orchids Limited about 2 years ago. It's a small plant for a multi, almost a mini multi. Leaf span is maybe 8 in., the spike is 10-12 in. It was in rough shape for a while but it's coming around now.
