    Milan, I think we like a lot of the same things. Great close-up too. What is it growing on?

    This plant is growing on bark of locust tree. I am using bark of poplar and willow also.
    New leaves are brown and flowers are only short-period (several day) living.

    I grow mine in the cool to intermediate range, 50F & 56F minimum nights.

    I've never tried any of the woods you mention. Do they hold up well? I was using grape vine (free by the truck load when they replant vineyards here) but find that much of it rotted in a couple of years, especially the thinner pieces which I like for minatures.

    @Marni
    I grow mine little warmer, now in winter 15 - 20°C (cca 60 - 70F). Beside this plant I have second in wood-basket, as mix is coco-chips with cut moss-sphagnum, but this one isn't blooming yet.
    Grape vine I have been using earlier, but now most frequently using bark of old poplar from river (it is fall down after storm). It holds well for many many years.
