Mediocalcar decoratum
This is supposedly a cool weather growing plant but I have not had a problem growing and blooming this plant in warm weather conditions at my residence. The plant is growing in a hanging 4-inch plastic basket with New Zealand Sphagnum Moss as the media. I received a small cutting of the plant from the late Wilbur Chang several years ago. I'm glad to see it bloom. Most of the flowers are still in bud.

Oh I want so much mine to grow like this one. I re-potted mine the other day and we will see. It did have some new growths but also some where starting to dry up. My fingers are crossed.
