Very cool indeed but I think you staked them too soon Chuck, they're both looking down their pouches at us!
 
Hey, you have two great ones, one to spare to send to me ;) Just kidding! Really nice blooms!!
 
nice blooms! how do you grow them? do they have to get cold in the winter to thrive? thanks!

Hi,

I grow them in the warm end of an intermediate greenhouse (60 deg F at night) in fairly bright light. Potted in plastic container in fine bark mix watered every four days with rainwater. Balanced fertilizer around 300 ppm tds about three times a month, a little more in the spring. Repotted each year in the spring. Very standard sort of culture. I've had them for three years. They bloom on a single new growth (wish there were more) each year.

Hope this helps.

Chuck
