Maxillaria huebschii red form

Ten flowers open and six buds about to. Grown in a mix of hand-chopped sphagnum and orchiata bark and some large sponge rock in a plastic basket. One of the rewards of all the effort (and expense) of the new cool case I set up last year. I have killed three of these before; over a couple years, they simply turn brown and die during our summers even in front of the greenhouse's coolers. In the case, days reach 72/74ºF, and nights are set to 52ºF. This one has taken off in the last year and finally given me my first blooms. Well worth the effort!
