Our summers are very low humidity, so I suspect it might not be such a problem, keeping the humidity up high enough is probably a problem. I've seen such beautiful ones in photos, like C. cristata. And, up at Golden Gate Orchids in SF I saw some really fantastic specimens. Should have bought one then, but my partner was not enthusiastic about "more orchids!"

Your environment will allow this plant to be outdoors. Your partner will not notice it at all.

LOL, Bud, I think you're right. There's an orchid open house at a place in the county this coming Monday. Hmmm.....

Awesome, these are completely new to me:-) Love it!

Thank You, Tommy!

These orchid plants are easy to grow and you may find some in an orchid farm near you..

Beautiful fimbration on the lip!

Thank You, Rico !
