That is a nice form, color and texture. That is a large flower compared to the regular blooms I see...

Awesome. I love the little face on the flower. I've never seen a Dracula before- just a newbie at collecting orchids. I think I'm going to need a 12 step program. The more I see, the more I've just gotta have.

Its growing intermediate to cool in my basement. I drape felt curtains around the shelves it grows on. I make sure to soak these curtains when I water (daily) and they act like a evaporative cooler. And keep the humidity nice and high. T5 lighting. Its a good set up, stays cool enough all year, of course you do really have to keep an eye on things around here when august comes around!

Very nice. Looks a golden monkey face.
By the way, nice shot of the back side too!
