Could you give me more info on the culture? I have 4 of them and have only bloomed on in 3 years.

Bright light? Cattleya bright?

Kyle

PS. Ecuagenera has them.

wow....it is really jaw dropping! Fredclarkeara After Dark is truly stunning. And the fact that it has a longer and showier flower spike than Maxillaria. However, Maxillaria is sooo elegant and tiny!....I'm split in between lol...

I just saw Fredclarkeara After Dark available at the Orchid Limited web page.... it's for $250 in a 4" pot and it's said that only about 40% are black. Maybe I'd just have to wait then... Meanwhile, I'll just get the lovely Maxillaria...

Man, oh, man. I'm going to need a second job. I MUST have that one too.

Anyone know where I can get one? I've searched many sites and can't find it.

Now anyone want to tell me how I'm going to explain yet another one to my fiance??

Why do you think I keep rearranging them? He thinks anything green and living is a "weed" so I just keep convincing him that "oh, yeah, that one was just on the other side of the yard."

Hey, at least they aren't shoes - they are something practical!

I'll check out the site - thanks!!
