Very pretty! I've been thinking about trying this one, but I'm not sure I have the space. That is a beautiful plant... and I love the pot too. Excellent photos.
Thank you for sharing!

Very nice!
If you don't mind, could you post a little about how you are taking care of this orchid? I have one of these, but my flower spikes keep dying. I've had two new leads put out flower spikes, grow about an inch or so, and then just sit there and slowly dry and turn brown. I've got two new bulbs putting out sheaths, but I worry the same thing will happen. The first dry sheath started growing last August, but now it is brown and dead-looking.
I grow mine in a terrarium with 70-75% humidity, good air flow and temps that vary from 82-83 during the day, to 69-70 at night. I use RO water with the MSU fert for RO, water about every three days and fertilize weakly every other watering. The orchid itself is growing like crazy, pitting out new bulbs every couple of months, but still no flowers!
Should I just let those dry-looking sheaths stay? Will they eventually grow or are they dead?
