Here is my Stanhopea wardii. It is super easy to grow. I grow it intermediate to warm in bright light. I have had this plant for 2 years now. This year it bloomed twice for me.
This is blooming in May. Not many flowers, only 4.
Here is the plant and all in October (sunburn on leaves--ouch!!)
Fabulous...just fabulous! Do you grow outdoors in summer and in the house in cool weather? You've done a great job with this.
Thanks, I grow most of my plants indoors year 'round. I live in Phoenix and outdoors in the summer wont do except for a few plants. I put plants out for the winter and bring them in for the summer.
