Ben, what magic potion did you use to get that beauty to bloom? What a lovely lip! My harrisoniana x nobilior that I've had for two years just sits and looks at me. ?????

I've heard that nobiliors are fussy plants, but it looks like you have kept that one very happy for it to put out four flowers at once in its first blooming. Good growing!

I've heard they are fussy, too, so I am excited to have just discovered a new lead popping out on mine. :>)

Not that fussy from what I can tell, I just slapped it on a piece of tree fern with some coco fiber tween them and put it in a bright (50pct shade, for a big chunk of the day) spot in my shade house, watered 2-3 times per week and fertilized once a week. The trick, I think, was that I started with a healthy sized division and that the plant is mounted. My major concern was to make sure it absolutely dries out tween watering and that it got plenty of light and it seems to be ok with my setup.

Thanks, Ben. Mine's in a wood vanda basket and gets pretty much the same light and culture. Hoping the new lead will produce. At least it's moving along.

Very pretty!~Charm
