Posted the wrong photo, this one shows it better.

A close up of the flowers, amazing what a real camera can do.

Very nice. Looks like the flowers are a little furry.
Very healthy looking too.

All open, looking good. Since it does make a good display I'll move it into a large basket. 8*' round net pot will be the container. I'll line the walls and floor of it with 1/2" layer of sphagnum moss and then fill the central space with medium sized orchiata bark..The moss keeps the orchiata from spilling out and adds moisture. Since orchiata takes a long time to deteriorate it should be good for a few years like that.

To fill a big pot like that with SM only, makes too much a soppy wet situation. I have tried this method on a few plants now and they seem to like it. I water every 2 days which works well with this.

I have others in large net pots in straight moss, they seem to like that also. I cannot tell which is better but I do know that moss deteriorates and should be changed every year. The orchiata does not, advantage orchiata.

PS I have a mounted division which has 2 spikes, also open, if someone wants to trade.
