Hi Calvin

Below is a pic of the whole plant...it does take up lots of space.


Dorothy...

Gin...I love your Blood Bath, it's gorgeous! I don't know why I didn't get it when I saw it at the WOC It would've completed the Kryptonite collection for me...

Thakshila & Chris...
it may look like I have a lot of plants (and I do ) but others here at OB have much more extensive...and stunning...collections than I do! I just take lots of

Can you tell me how to water, repot or not repot? I got this as a door prize at an orchid show last week and it is blooming like crazy. Do not know this variety. Have other orchids. Could use some help??? Thanks.

You are going to love this one! It seems to like lots of eastern light at my house. Unpicky except about water. Likes lots of it and clean. Mine is planted in spahgnum. Seems very undemanding to me. I have to keep repotting becasue it is a rapid grower and is fairly large. I have read up to 24 inches.

If not, I have a division here with one spike that is about to drop it's first flower, and one spike getting ready to open it's first flower. It's the plant that I posted the pic of the other day. It has little faint white streaks in the petals, also. I'll sell/trade it to you, if you'd like. This is the actual plant:

Hi - I have another question about my Phailocantha Kryptonite. It has finished blooming. Do I cut off the brown spikes? Will it bloom again? What do I have to do now? Thanks.
