*were you able to acquire the Sophronitis coccinea 4N that the Japanese were showing?[/QUOTE]

I don't remind if the plants for sale were 4Ns. The best plants were priced between 200 and 400 Euro. My growing conditions in summer can be hot and dry in the bright spots. So I bought what I can grow without a major risk.

What an outstanding color! I don't have lycaste, but I would love to have one. Seeing yours makes my fingers itch to buy one even more!

Thanks for sharing that beautiful picture!

Wonderful

Lovely!
