Nice. One of my faves but difficult to grow. Any secrets?
Wow, image shack is not letting me enlarge at home. computers are starting to really suck!

Keep them dry during the cold months, even though they take cold better than niveum and leucochilum, but not much. Adding lime stone would also help.

'Wish I could see the enlarged photos but Image Shack keeps giving me a security alert and it won't open the photo. It'd be REALLY nice if you'd post your photos on this site instead of directing us to a photo hosting site.

I find it easy to grow, but slow. Buds up every 2 years, the bud develops nicely, then blasts before opening. Usually buds blast in the early stages. I think it might be budding up now....maybe this year it will succeed.

Image shack won't load on my old laptop, but in the thumbnail, the flower looks almost perfect.

I love it. Whoever said the shape is close to perfect is absolutely right.

Nice!

Beautiful shape with lovely balance to all the components. It almost has a crystalline appearance to it. I need to buy a flask or two of these!

What size is the bloom?

I have a thai coming up with 2 spikes but the plant is tiny and the spikes are so fragile!! ?

No problems at all with Image Shack on my computer.
This is a very good thaianum - congrats.

It looks like the best of the best. It also looks like you're getting the hang of posting PICs too!

You have a fantastic collection of plants, please carry on posting them, especially with you having sorted out the sizing and way to post them. They are a treat to view!

Never! (Never stop, that is.)

Agreed! Thanks for resizing them!
