Here are a couple of bloomers. The Haraella has two more spikes and the Epigenium took me totally by surprise.

Gorgeous little blossoms

I've been itching to get these. But I've heard they need more of a terrarium set-up.

Enjoy your blooms

Never heard of the Epi. Congrats. I like it.

Julie, you're on a roll!!!

Gloria, the Haerella has been said to do better in a terrarium setup but mine is outdoors and does very well.
As long as you can supply the high humidity and mist it every day, a tank is not a necessity.

Susanne, I agree. Both plants are on the bottom shelf of my 3 teir plant shelf. They sit near my humidifier and the temp. stays around 70 and the humidity stays above 50% and more of course when I feed or water. I have a Dend. cuthbersonii x Dend. goldschmidtianum that is sitting above the humidifier and it has two big buds that will probably be opening this week.
