And then here's this morning:

I put together a whole guided tour to this flower; 17 photos in all, with lots of detail and information with each photo. It's here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dewittkower/sets/72157621863963295/

From the individual photo pages, you can get to large and super-large photos by clicking on "all sizes," just above the photo.

Those of you with Flickr accounts please do feel free to comment on the individual photo pages! I'm on Flickr often enough that I'll see your comments quickly, and will write back.

Hope you enjoy it!
 
What an amazing bloom. Thanks for the blow-by-blow. It was interesting to see.
 
Sue, I commented on Flickr as well, but your complete set on Flickr is a must-see as it details the many parts of this unusual orchid flower. It is rare to see it in so much detail!
Great job!
Pete

In a basket with sphag, pretty moist, medium light. I haven't had it terribly long, though.

I've just read about watering them with some lemon juice added to keep down the pH.
