Nice job growing and flowering these babies. The medium looks darn near wet...

Very nice. Wish I could figure out why mine aren't blooming. Is it high or low light?

relatively high light for a slipper and watered once a week.

I have two spikes on mine now, also. I'd say mine is in dappled sunlight, and I, also water mine once a week.
Such a sweet flower!

Are these commercially available. They're beautiful. I want one, now!
Are they hard to grow?
I do want to mentioned before I joined this thread I really wasn't interested in Lady Slippers at all. But my wife was, and then I read "Scent of a Scandal" about the PK and I was enamored and got pretty charged up about getting one. Just something about the PK and the besseae. And now this one. Slippers are truly beautiful orchids. I also enjoyed reading the threads about the micranthum and the controversy between the China one and the Japanese one. Cool stuff.

I follow Marilyn LeDoux's recipe given on her website to a T.
My saucer probably does need more drain holes in it. I had to drill the one hole in it cause it was a saucer for a big pot.

I have to water mine more then once a week to keep the media wet/damp. Another way to put it, to keep the moss alive and damp. I have mine with the Cattleyas. Jay has three big plants with one in spike. All 3 are close on the bench but two are shaded too much by other plants!
