I first purchased this plant as a fairly small seedling (well small for these things anyway) it took a couple of years to acclimatize its self to my conditions and then it took off, doubling in size almost every year.

Same thing down here,when ever these things become avaliable they sell like hot cakes you have to be quick or you'll miss out.

To be fair not yet, but we have not had a really hot day here for a couple of weeks(our summer) since its been open.  Today is hotter though and I'm taking it to a society meeting tonight, and we are going to be spending 1 hour there and 1 hour back in a very small car  |

With the genus name 'phalaenopsis' I was thinking it must be one of the prettier bulbos....boy was I mistaken! Interesting for sure! I guess the 'phalaenopsis' name is referring to the shape of the leaves, not the flowers.
