They say that you are an orchid pro once you've killed your weight in orchids. I think I'm nearly there!

Totally true. I'm lazy so I just headed to them instead of bringing them to me.

Nice shape and color. Are you growing this plant mounted or potted?

Another great one. I've got some time before any of mine throw buds, but I'm hopeful given this. Great growing, credit or not!

thanks again its being grown in 33.33.33 mix..medium graded, 1/3 charcoal 1/3 fir bark and 1/3 sponge rocks. pretty standard..the other 1% I dont know what it is...

It needs re-potted but I got no new growths and they don't like being moved around. How I killed the last one. All I did was repot it and smack it crashed. I think its very important that when you re-pot anything with a bulb like these that are close to the mix, you GOT to keep the bulbs ABOVE the mix, Roots will push it up but dont bury the bulbs bec the plant is wiggly.Use clips or some anchor in the pot. Dont bury the bulbs and keep them above the mix.

I dont think Im going to re-pot but use the adda- pot method next time and not try to remove so much of the old bark hanging off the roots...

and yes the color is so much deeper yellow than others Ive seen.. It doesn't look faded out.
