It's gorgeous Calvin,

The very very top of my wish list is equestris, followed close behind by Mini Mark. I plan to try and get hold of both of them this year.

It's a great picture of it!

Beautiful equestris, Calvin!

I have a little keiki I received from a friend on OB. It's growing well (including a large, slightly obscene new root

). I hope it puts on a show like yours one day!

haha

mine also seems to only grow roots and not leaves...weird

Thanks for checking my plant out, guys

Mine grew a nice new leaf before the root started to grow. But it's just a little keiki with 3 leaves, and about a 2.5 inch leaf span. Maybe yours just feels that it has enough leaves and wants more roots at the moment.

I got one of these around Christmas. Its healthy, needs repotting. What is the best medium for this species?

I love mine..... the moma orchid had a keiki 1.5 years ago and I cut it off and they were both blooming at the same time. I did give the baby to one of my friends. They are fun you can count of them reblooming.

Both of mine are in s/h medium and doing well.
