I love everything about the blooms...delicate, beautiful and
very exotic to me. Might we see a photo of how you grow it
sometime?

Well it is still in a small Aircone pot with a bark mix but there are two growths over the edge now so I will be repotting it soon. Nothing at all special for this one!

Very cool! I have a small division of this one but it is only growing slowly. Hopefully to put up a few flowers like yours.

I bought mine as a single growth division and it too has been a slow grower. But it's finally putting out a couple more rhizomes.

Are there really only two strains in common trade? Oaxaca and Windy Hill?

 

[chrismende]

I have a plant from Howard Gunn's collection. Is that one the Oaxaca strain?

TWO wonderful blooms...super! One of these days I'm going to get the
nerve to try to grow these little beauties.
