What beautiful flowers. I bought a new plant with sheaths waiting for the flower to develop. How cool do you grow this? I grow mine day 20-25 c and Night 16 - 20 c right now. I hope this is not too cool for them. I would really like to see mine flower and I heard that they are somewhat of a warm grower?

They will bloom in these temps. But they like lots of light. I h ave a lot of tenebrosa hybrids and patiently wait for them to bloom. A couple might bloom this year. I hope they look as good as yours. Love the color contrast here. Just beautiful. )He yells outside at them to hurry and bloom dang it!!!)

James thanks for the tips. I read that they like a little less light than regular catts, but I guess in cool coastal California they can may be take a little more. I am 8 miles inland from the ocean so may be a little warmer than Oceanside.
