A bit of update:
The summer is the difficult time for these cool growing Disa. The survival rate wasn't as high as I hoped for even with the ebb-flow system and there are quite a bit of death over the summer. But I may have some survivors which might grow for the next year. So it is a little bit of progress forward. The next step may be that I need to add refrigerated unit like what Tennis did in his
informative page. But it seems a bit costly.
Seeds were harvested from the orange individual, so I need to sow it quickly.
Here is another individual which flowered at the end of September (quite out of season). This is D. uniflora 317 (from Wally Orchard of Afrodisa) 'NT3'.

I decided to put this build thread to my blog so I can access it easily (
link, no new content, though).

I lived in Durham for a while, and yes, it would be a challenge to grow Disa there! I remember even growing Phrag besseae was pretty tough there (and I killed it).
