I got this one today, it was discounted as the blooms have all fallen off. I saw that it has MANY new growths, I counted 4. They were also 2 microscopic speckled green buds that may turn out to be new growths too! I repotted in 20% sphagnum and 80% bark, charcoal, and small perlite mix. It was originally potted in bark, charcoal, perlite mix. I had to add sphagnum bc the only kind of bark I had was kinda big. The roots on this orchid were amazing! Extensive and ALL healthy, nice growing tips too. I looked up a pic of the bloom at the store (Island Orchid) and it sealed the deal. It's a white bloom ❤️ I tried to look up so info online and on orchid forums but it didn't turn up anything. Does anyone have this orchid and would you like to share its growing characteristics and culture that works for you? O and pics too pls :)

From OrchidWiz. This is one of Graham Wood's crosses. Great plants
 
I must be doing it wrong NYEric, I didn't get anything. I must have misplaced a letter. Orchidsinabq, thank you so very much!
