Default Lepanopsis Michelle

This still has the original tag from:
Lynn O'Shaughnessy(with her own handwriting)
I bought this on Ebay 2010 from a grower who was disposing of all his plants because he was moving.
interesting note:
On this blooming cycle, several inflorescences had flowers with varying shades of color. Most of the time, the flowers are all the darker color. Please look at the posting of this plant last year it had lighter shade flowers(which I posted 11/06/2011):

* I am growing this hanging on the eastside bathroom window getting warm steam whenever I take showers in the mornings and then at night...I soak it for 5 min with Algoflash fertilizer, alternating worm tea mix and seaweed mix every Sunday....this is mounted on cork bark with live moss and algae which I couldn’t get rid of; after 3 weeks that I got it in the mail it spiked and bloomed continuously and there's no stopping it....but in this blooming cycle I am very pleased that it gave me 28 spikes and lots of flowers….

Thanks for the culture tips. As you know I love the mini pleurothallids. I hope they catch on here, they are so hard to find! We rely on J&L and Ecuagenera to come to our shows to pick up some interesting ones.
