That's it! More than a spider, it resembles a scorpion!!

I love it, mine is only about 10" tall, but I believe it's a division from a bloom-sized plant. How tall does it generally have to get in order to bloom? Nice pics Mauro, do you give it the same light as a Vanda?

Thanks Mauro

Mine was also a division of an adult plant when I acquired it, Roy. It is now 25" tall, but flowered for the first time when it was 17". No, I grow it in full sun, along with my Renanthera coccinea and Papilionanthe teres.

Very nice!
It is a hardy outdoor plant, liking a lot of sunlight to grow well.
