I love orchids that grow into a ball. I've mounted some hanging on wine corks to achieve spherical growth. This one seems like its always in bloom. I used to have a stenostachya with a dark reddish lip. I miss it.

That is excellent, great growing! Is it a cool grower or is it tolerant of warmer temps?

You have some excellent blooming on that one. Mine has not stopped blooming for years. But recently I have lost about 30 or so leaves from the top of the "ball". Not sure why. But its still in bloom.

Intermediate temp. I've been growing these for a long time. They seem very forgiving. Mine have lived through catastophic neglect and devastating scale infestation.

Love the way that is growing in a ball. I know what you mean about it being a pleasing way to have them growing but none of my orchids are suitible for that.

It looks really happy and what a great blooming.
