Another Disa from the Northwest Orchid Society show:

Didn't know they came in hot pink.

Nice.

Now that is one awesome blossom!

Look at that color! Man, if I had better water quality, I'd snag myself a couple of these. I'll just have to look at others' plants, because there's no possibility of me getting a water purification system in my studio.

They do. As far as I know, they come in yellow, red, scarlet, and hot pink. I'm not sure if there are orange unifloras, though (I wouldn't be surprised if there were).

For something like this I might be willing to purchase distilled water.

Thanks for looking and commenting, 2ljd, Carl and Ted. I must admit that I get envious when I see these even though I have neither the space nor the conditions.

You know, I have to admit I thought these were plants that I couldn't/shouldn't be growing, but I've had some for several months now and they seem to be doing just fine. That wouldn't be shocking, but for the fact that I live in Hawaii.

Wow, what colour in that one. Wondeful pic Ron.

Very stunning! I so do want to get a Disa!

@2Ljd how do you grow these in Hawaii? I thought they needed cooler temps.

Thanks for taking a look, Rosie and Judi. I was told, Judi, that they do need cooler temps, but more important is a temperature differential and cool roots.
