Hi all, Went to the Strand today. Saw a lot of great stuff, and my first time seeing a Clamshell Orchid in bloom.

Unfortunately pictures don't do it any justice, when you have seen them in person.

very healthy looking plant, It doesn't seem to be very high in the canopy, so i would imagine it gets lots of dappled light?

That's a great experience.

These are one of my wife's favorites. Mine (potted, in greenhouse) has been blooming continuously for the last 4 years. It usually has 6 or seven spikes going at a time, and is still growing.

Still, nothing beats seeing orchids in thier natural habitat.
