. Nice waxy substance, and I believe they last for a few months at least

Yes , the flowers last very long. Even in bangkok, with a hot climate, flowers last more than 2 months.
Nice blooming and nice pictures that you made ! Congratulations !
Warm in phal shade ... when it gets a little cooler, then bright in intermediate conditions. Very good drainage or mounted. Less active if you have a winter, but not deciduous. Flowers last 1 to 2-1/2 months depending on temps.
Very nice flower photo. I don't recall seeing any with as much orange on sepals.
Mine actually gets quite high light, and is kept rather moist except it gets a bit drier during the non-growing season. Leaves are darkish green even with high light, so I think it can take quite a bit. Pretty warm throughout the year too.
The lip colour seems to be intensifying while the sepals are fading a bit.
