The spike is 15 inches long. Each flower is approx 3/4 inch by little less than 1/2 inch.
I am glad that I finally have a place to share my passion, as my family and friends are really tired of hearing about, much less looking at photos of, my little darlings! |

I know what you mean, if I get a catt in sheath, this is the only place that cares besides myself. My family will look at me with a blank face and say, ohhh, really? How nice. And then walk away.

Laura, you have some beautiful stuff, I'm in love with the Epi. Orchid Jungle. Never tried one of these before, but I'm getting intrigued for some reason. Can you tell me about growing conditions?

I'm glad you're here too, Laura 
It's much nicer than only seeing you at our meetings...there's always too much going on and we never get to talk  |

Thanks Judi. The excuse I give my husband is that the more orchids I buy, the greater the chance that I'll have some in bloom!
