I've read that Odontoglossums do really well in my neck of the woods, with our relatively cool temperatures and high RH (although there was a freak heat wave that shot up to 105 degrees F here this last summer. Glad we have AC!).
And yet my Dgmra. Flying High 'Stars N Bars' is the first orchid with any Odont parentage in my collection. BTW, it's growing, but I didn't do a good job repotting it when I first got it. The roots are too high and aren't penetrating the media well (lava rocks and pumice, but too fine) so I'm going to repot it and change the media when the temperatures are warm enough. I still plan to send you a division when I can! I haven't had it long enough to bloom yet, so I can't tell if it has a virus like the last one you had. It didn't come from a box store, so hopefully not!
I also haven't had any blooms yet in water culture, except for the Neoregelia, but I'm still tweaking things. I have a feeling being moved across the state several times a year are setting the plants back, but I can't leave them with my parents. To high maintenance for them!
