I am growing it intermediate with cooler nights and have it in a sphagnum/bark mix. I have it a bit under potted to not allow the plant to get too wet, but it does like water so I have to be careful

Holy Cow! That's a beautiful flower, a great photo and a WONDERFUL award! Congratulations! I've been growing orchids for 37 years and never won an FCC. I once gave a division of my Phrag. Nitidissimum to Wendy and it won her an FCC a few years later; but, I've never had the honour myself. What a nice feather in your cap. I'm really pleased for you. Bravo!

Yes, I kept the mother plant and I still have it. So, of course I got to add the award to it's label, too.....and being a slipper orchid, it's value increased considerably.
