This species likes to blast in my conditions. I noticed that if I ignore it, it will develop nicely and open. If I even so much as to look at it, it will spontaneously abort. So I pretend it’s not there lol. And voila! It opened!

Named after one of my favourite films.

Magnificent. The species is more impressive than the crosses I have of it. I will try to pretend to ignore some of my difficult slippers and see if they spike/bloom from your experience of pretending this P. acmo is not in your collection!
 
Beautiful!
Last year one of mine blasted, too. That one has now a bud again, hope it will last this time...
 
Till now I thought colours always would fade in time...
Rest assured, it will in the end! I for my part just have to take a look in the mirror every morning...:eek:
