This is a first bloom seedling I bought last year at the Pacific Orchid Expo from Dean a Paphiness. It is Miao Hua #1 x Miao Hua #4. I'm very pleased with this first flower. It may open up a bit more. It took the flower a good month to get this far.
Orchid Boy, I wouldn't say it's difficult, just a little slow to grow. I've had it a little over a year and in that time it has grown one new leaf, then spiked and is now also sending up a new growth. It had a small root system so it may have been spending it's time growing roots.
