    This plant grows with my cats and cymbidiums on my lanai 97degrees today. Doing well since I bought it last year. Has five brachts. I thought they were low light at first and almost killed one then I moved it here by my pool.Dont know just how big it will get? It's not a true orchid actually just called this, but is an epiphyte. It has doubled in size in the year I have had it. IMG_0999.JPG

    Beautiful. I have never heard of this.

    I have forgotten where you live.

    I got one of these at my local grocery store last summer, it was lovely but I was not able to get it through the winter in my greenhouse. It is quite lovely, wish it had made it. It is a quite big plant.

    Nice. Isn't it tough to grow Cymbidium there? Do they flower?
