*sigh* Those are lovely.

Always have loved those. I've never tried growing them, however. I've known a number of very experienced orchid growers who have failed miserably with Habs. It's kind of scared me off.

Jorge, it's too late for the 2012 calendar but you can always hold on to the pic for submission for the 2013 calendar. That contest will take place next year. The rules for the 2012 calendar contest can be found here:

The rules for next year's contest should be the same -- just a different deadline date in all likelihood.

I have buds showing on my first try...won't know if I did good till it dies back and see how many tubers I receive for my efforts.

Would anyone who has had success with these plants care to comment on SUMMER care. I got one of these from Seattle Orchids a couple of weeks ago. It was in bloom and there is another lead coming along. They told me about winter care but I am in need of info for the care until winter sets in. Thanks

Here is a link to the culture sheet from Kew Gardens, I grow all of mine following these instructions and have never had a failure yet.
