    Very nice bloom! I too am greenhouse-less and have been reticent to try this species, but yours is quite inspiring. Do you augment humidity or use particular temperature controls for this one?

    Nice one, Pook.

    You don't need a greenhouse to grow orchids. There are many ways to provide your plants a good growing enviroment... A "well equipped" gh is a blessing though.

    the pattern inside the lip is cool

    i would venture to guess that Pook's biggest challenge is humidity control ? but she sure grows some very happy plants.

    Thanks all. I grow this in an orchidarium so it gets the humidity it needs. Although the blooms seem to last longer if I remove it from there while in bloom.
