Excellent job! I think they look great mounted, although yours is bigger than mine. Mine has 5 1/2 leaves (one is new) and a spread approx 4-5". Yours looks massive. Had it long?

Ross, how are you going to treat your P. tribuloides? I have that one for over a year now and I have no blooms. It hasn't died though. Well, I pretty much ignore the poor thing.

Ross, this was a traveling companion to my Angcm scottianum (from Oak Hill Gardens) in OB's Project 2 so that would mean I've had it since mid-August of last year and it started blooming in early December.

Here's a picture of the plant today with a ruler so you can see the true size. It's hard to judge in a picture if you don't know the size of the mount

Mine is hanging in orchidarium where it gets 5 seconds misting every 4 hours. I plan to dunk in fertilizer couple times a week till I see what it wants for sure. Temps about mid to high 70s F during day and low 70s at night. About 12" below a bank of 4 T5 lights (may move it a bit lower if leaves stay light green). Humidity 90%+ day and night. Fan blowing on it 24/7. We'll see what happens.

You had me tricked, looked just like it! Is the same alliance? Nice, do you have a blooming pic?

Hmm, I don't pamper mine so much. I gets heavily misted in the morning, and a chance to dry out the rest of the day. a 40 watt light, full spec. and temps in the 70's to low 60's at night.

Wonderful. Hope mine gets big like that. Mine has pretty light green leaves (probably Andy was growing it brighter than I plan to or than you do) as compared to yours. Also yours is approx twice the width.

I think mine might be a bit bright because of distance to lights. Think I'll move it lower tomorrow. Yours still blooms OK under 40 watts?

Mine will dry off at night but during day I don't have luxery of several environments like you do.

Think I'll add to the front page article based on my recent changes in orchidarium plant placement.
