This is an example of urge resistance against purchasing orchids while on a travelling holiday, where the urge resistance unexpectedly failed!!!
I'm going to have to make room in my carry-on case for the flight home later this week.
I hadn't planned on growing tenebrosa, and had never seen one in flower before - except online photos that is.
I purchased this flowering orchid soon after being captivated by its nice coloured flowers during a day trip of sight-seeing in south-east Queensland, Australia.
I believe that the daily room hotel service people will get a wonderful visual display. I definitely want to share two wonderful photos of this particular tenebrosa, capturing the beauty of the colour and shapes.
I have this orchid on a table with windows of one room opened to allow lots of air to get in.
I had to leave windows of the hire car slightly open and park where-ever I could in the shade while sight-seeing yesterday (on the day that I bought it) to avoid a cooked tenebrosa! Luck was on my side! The day wasn't too hot, and I somehow managed to find shady parking spots!
