I got two of these from Tom (Fox Valley Orchids) in 2013. They were growing very rapidly in the first year, and I thought that it would flower around 2014-15. I don't remember what happened, but I screwed up something and lost one of them in 2016. This surviving one was also in a bad shape, but it managed to recover. I used to use a tray of water at the bottom, but after the decline, I stopped it, and keep it drier. It finally flowered this fall (around Sept 1, 2018) for the first time! It is beautiful. I was a bit worried that I didn't see a new growth at the time, but it is making a new growth now.
I tried to use Google Photos for sharing, but they aren't too friendly with embedding in forums, so the photos might disappear in the future. I'll stop using Google Photos until they make it better, but the photos of this thread can be found in my Shared album of Orchids from Google Photos.

Thanks for sharing. When someone starts crossing these with high flowering count besseae like ("guarumales") there will be a revolution!
