It was in the link, it's your picture but it won't show as anything other than a link for me. In the center of the picture.

Well how's the orchid's show this year...if you get spikes, you won the challenge I guess.

I was just going to ask this question. My new blooms that opened on mine were bleed out. Dammit!! I guess I'll have to open a window.

I have bought mine in kind of bad shape I got it on discount it was out of bloom too. I find these plants to be fast growers. Mine put out so much new growth 6 new bulbs growing like weeds. Roots are peaking out of the holes in the bottom of the pot and I repotted it in Sep. I had it is a South facing window. I just moved it to an east window so it will get a bit less light.

I am waiting for a spike. I can't wait to see it. The only thing I hate are the wrinkled leaves it gets if you don't water it enough. I have to water mine like every 3 days when in active growth. These plants grow fast and well but keeping them looking good is hard for me. The Stupid wrinkle leafs drive me crazy.

Mine is in a bark, peatmoss, spagnum moss, mix. I am thinking of potting it in a Peatmoss mix with some bark and perlite. My house is just too dry.

Yes, I'm finding in my cool laundry room that my new one requires water about every 2.5 days (it's in flower..maybe that makes it extra thirsty), it gets it about every 3 (lol). I am doing my best to not see crinkly leaves..but it's almost inevitable to slip up somewhere.
I understand your accordian leaves driving you crazy, that's why I didn't want to get another..but they're so cute when in flower
