Dot, this is the second mounted Maxillaria I own—the other one is Maxillaria uncata. All my other Maxillaria are growing in net pots in sphagnum moss. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello Ozpaph, I had no preference. This is how it came from the vendor. Lately I have seen more smoothed wood mounts on eBay. From an aesthetic point of view I prefer cork. The texture of cork is very appealing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Furan, especially the ones closest to the primary specie seem to bloom twice a year. My Nishidemiyako bloomed very early Spring 2017, and now it is setting up another bloom that will probably flower early October. I do not have any idea what causes reblooming. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't think there are any larger Minmaru shima. This is their size. However there are regular Nagoran that are variegated. As far as the ghosting effect, that Naoki asked about, I haven't seen a completely green free leaf or plant yet. But you do have to ask if no green variegation is...

My experience too! So I have decided to enjoy everyone else's success and not try to grow these plants. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
