It is beautiful. So pure looking.
How long have you had it before it bloomed? I know nothing about growing them but I was given on yesterday. It is Ang. florientum X scottsianum.

I need info on the culture of that plant. Do I treat it like my vandas?

Very nice, Eric

It was actually Project #2 but who's counting?

I killed mine

Wow Eric!! Just yesterday I found mine infested, rittled, overtaken by scale!!
I've been treating it rather harshly since then, and have now potted it in sphag because I cut off all the roots. How do you keep yours?

I received the plant two years ago. I treat my scottianum like any other orchid; no special treatment. (Don't own any Vandas) I water it once a week; allowing the media to dry out. Other than that's all.

I have my scottianum in it's original pot & potting mix that I have recieved from Oak Hill Gardens two years ago. Just water it once a week allowing the media to dry before rewatering.
