I would acquire this plant for the leaves! Beautiful and healthy plant.

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

Here is a small Maxillaria mounted on 3”x5” wood mount. Close up of the bulbs. At one time this plant was named “Christonella”. This plant is grown in bright shade, warm to hot. It needs to be consistently hydrated allowing to dry out between watering. Plenty of fresh, moving air.

My orchid society is planning on carpooling and attend on Saturday, 09/23/17! This is always a fun event and very informative. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes it does seem a lot of effort for one day of work. But I think it is challenging me to get it to grow more pseudobulbs so that the number of pseudobulbs will provide a bouquet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello Naoki. Longer than that. This flower showed signs of opening one afternoon. By the next morning it was fully opened. But by 4pm that afternoon it turned red, and slowly started shriveling by night fall--so 8am-5pm? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lumped in with Debdrobium, sometimes referred to as "watermelon" orchid because of its flower scent. It is from New Guinea. It is a warm to hot grower, likes bright light, "Oncidium" strength. I allow it to dry completely before watering. It is in a 2" pot and I probably should re-pot. I...

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

The fact they are variegated makes their value higher. I saw a Minmaru, not variegated, starting at auction for $9.99--someone got it for $12.00. That same vendor had a Minmaru shima starting off at $49.99 someone ended up buying it for $82.00 (or something like that). Within the Minmaru shima...

I have pm'd you as instructed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

These are nice Minmaru shima. They are appealing when compared to their larger cousins. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Look for Manjushage 曼珠沙華. This is the most available three spur Neofinetia. It is on the expensive side. I bought a two-fan, certified plant for over US$100.

Welcome to the forum, from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Question, are you using any fans to circulate the air in your green house? I have fans running intermittently 24/7 does a lot of good.
