Wowzerrr What a fabulous display!

White frilly Cats! Keep them coming.

NICE I think Maxillaria is a fascinating genus.

I think it is beautiful. Sometimes “form” isn’t everything.

Re lava rock, one caveat/caution: depending on the source lava rock can often contain/carry weed seeds. I learned the hard way to sterilize by boiling prior to use.

Beautiful indeed! The twig epiphytes are such a treat. Small, easy, colorful. Everyone should have a dozen or so.

Then there is Gomesa Gomes-ah named after Sr Gomes. a favorite is: bigibbum bi-gib-um. It is often pronounced bigi-bum which if one is not careful becomes an ear worm

Re temperature. My GH is not heated and can go down to 40 at night so I don’t do anything differently in that respect. Re rest: I kinda treat them all the same which is to say I’m kind or inconsistent. I reduce water significantly, but not complete dry rest.

Settling on a color descriptor is often one of the most difficult parts of the discussion. I know that when I am writing a description at the table I almost always leave plenty of space around the color(s) as invariably there will be several opinions to negotiate. When there is daylight we...

Regarding the question of HCC being a “poor” award: For judges and expert growers an HCC could be disappointing however to a novice or hobby society grower their first or any award can be thrilling. I have seen, several times, that the first award can often motivate folks to start looking past...

I know I have posted this Sea God Nursery (Raymond Burr) hybrid previously but must admit that since i get a huge smile every time she blooms I thought I share again.
