Odontoglossum grande (now Rossioglossum grande!) like sit also cool...

I think you are on the right way... and do not hesitate to ask here in OB, if you have any questions...
Thank you so much cool is pretty good for me and if it likes water it will like hopefully like me as I tend to give them a bit too much so far ( already rotted one phal root system ) I Love this board everyone is so kind helpful and friendly I dont feel embarrassed asking basic questions now as no one seem to think I am stupid, It is this boards fault I keep expanding my collection
