    Hi Ricardo, I know you don't grow this cool , but I read where this species can grow cool. I may try it if I run into one. Your photos are really nice!

    This species grows well for me but I suspect it would grow even better if it was in a slightly cooler environment. Having said that I have seen people grow it quite well in the hot tropical lowlands of Puerto Rico. I do try to grow some species that are from cooler climates, this fills the need for a slight degree of frustrating masochism when I check how my orchids are doing.
