This has to be one of the strangest, and most wonderful of orchids!

Warm, a little filtered sunlight but mostly shaded by overhanging plants. It gets watered 2x a week in the warm months, but now that it is flowering, I'm cutting back to once a week.

Just wonderful. An elegant orchid.
There was an article in AOS Bulletin/Orchids years ago discussing the discovery and rarity of this species.
Not easy to grow, I think.

I'll have to look that up.

I killed the first one I had. I have my fingers crossed for this one.
