One tip, dont let them get dry, particularly when starting to bud as they seem to reflex even more.

Very nice, I think Lycaste are a bit underrated, don't see them that often.

lovely flower. Why the moss?

I took the plant from the greenhouse on the coast (high relative humidity ) to my house further inland. I use the moss to help keep humidity up and the flowers from damaging each other during transport.
