    Dale, I grow this species and used to bloom it well, but haven't for quite a few years. How are you growing yours? I want to see flowers on mine. :bang:

    It's in the SW corner of my green house. Lots of light. No defined resting period. In the same area are various IW growing pleurothallids, Phalaenopsis pulchra, P. fasciata, Bulbophyllum cornutum, B. arfakianum, B. nymphopolitanum, etc.
