    Hi

    Can you tell us how you're growing this? I have had one for a few years, but it has never bloomed. It looks around the same size as yours, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance.

    That's really cool, Armando. Do you mind telling me where you got the basket? Is it wire or plastic? I like the clean simplicity of it...

    Impressive flowers, especially given the size of the plant.

    Goods, I am giving my Stanhopeas bright light, just a bit less than my Cattleyas. As far as watering, I water right before the moss turns dry.

    Alexis the plant came in this wire basket when I bought it, I'll see if I can find out where to get them.

    Great clonal name. It looks like a prehistoric raptor.
