Gorgeous Keith!! Always wanted one, but do not quite have the conditions for it. Beautiful though, thanks for sharing!!

Wonderful flower and great pic :cheer:

I've just bought this one and I'm yet to find out if I can get it to flower.

I note you are in the same part of the world for me. How are you growing it, do you have any tips as to how to get it to flower?

Hello Rosie ,
Vietchiana is cool to intermediate ,Mine is in the cool end of the greenhouse so can get down to 5c in the winter ,all my Masies are shaded but still get good light .They also get good humidity as they are near the hydrofogger.
Masies are different to other orchids in the temp range
Cool 5c min
intermediate 10c min
Warm 15c
Hope this helps in some way
Regards

Thanks Keith, not sure I will be able to keep it cool enough (which I knew when I bought it) but I'm going to give it a go and see how it does :crossfing

I LOVE THIS FLOWER.... IS LOVELY CONGRATS!!!!

I would try and at least give it 10 c min .

Good luck with it !
Keith
