This is what it looks like growing in the wild. This was taken at Fort Desoto Beach picnic area late in August. It normally blooms in early spring.

In bloom it looks like this --



I grow almost all of my specimens on Florida Live Oak bark slabs. I tried other media, but they died. Haven't lost one yet on this bark.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
