I will be happy with that one too...nice dorsal. Would you like to share your culture tips for this species, like watering, light level and temperature?

Absolutely Tom. Watering is not quite often enough for me due to the stupid amount of orchids I have and work all day. Its probably about every 5th or 6th day and should be 4th or 5th!
Watering for me is like the "paint the Golden Gate Bridge' story. Start at one end and by the time I get to the end, start all
over again. I water EVERY afternoon when I get home.
Temps are low 80s during the day and mid to low 70s at night with humidity 50-60%. Just recently we had Santa Ana winds and humidity dropped to 10 the other evening!
Lights are medium botanical leds . Took pics of fc level 10 minutes ago, I guess average them?
