Tolumnia variegata
This is a pink variety I ordered from eBay. I had this plant a few years back and killed it!
I ordered it again and changed the way I water it. It is mounted on a twig, and I secured it onto a small wooden slat and stuffed the crevices with Sphagnum. I water it like I water my Vandas by dunking the whole thing in a tub of water (actually my gold fish tub). It seems to like that better than by being hosed down, which was the way I previously watered.
It is also a cool grower. I leave it out during winter where temp drops down to around 50F/10C regularly.
The entire plant
Enjoy
