That's very pretty. Did you give it a dusting of Moon Dust?

What a beauty Roy. I acquired one a few months ago. I only hope mine looks half as good as yours. How are you growing it?/

I'm growing it in a shallow or squat pot with a bark & volcanic rock ( scoria ) mix the same as my Paphs. It will grow in basket culture as well. Its in the GH with every thing else but in the shadier section and kept moist all the time. Fed with eveything else.

Update on Pholidota, pics of plant & spike. Its growing in a 115mm pot. The flower size is 20mm.

Hi Roy

Your flowers are lovely. I have one of these too but so far it hasn't flowered. I have had it for over a year. Mine is up high in the greenhouse, but I will move it lower after I read that yours is in a shadier area of GH. Also I don't keep mine moist all the time, so this may be a problem. Mine is a nice healthy plant and it is growing new bulbs quite frequently but no flowers. Does anybody else have some cultivation secrets to share?

Very nice Roy. How big are the flowers? I have Pholidota imbricata and Pholidota cantonensis and they both have small flowers. the former having the bigger flowers.

[Roy]

The flower size is 20mm.

[Mike O'C]

Thanks Roy. quite a nice size flower for the genus.

I just acquired a smallish articulata.
I was wondering if it will have similar cuture to the other Coels.

Mostly shady and damp it is!
