I'm really slow in getting to posting this - the plant's last flower is about to fall off now! - but the buds did finally open. There were 5 open in mid-September. And now it's got two new growths (pbulbs) coming in!

Oohh, that's nice about your blooms!
I got rid of the weed a few weeks ago. I felt a little bad about it but figured the orchid's rights to the space trumped it, and it had the look of something that might get quite large. |

Gorgeous flowers. I tried this one once but made the mistake of growing it on living moss. The moss outcompeted it for light and ventilation. I guess plants can get smothered to death.

Mine is grown in living moss. I have it in a plastic food dish with lots of holes. It does fine. |

I planted mine with the moss, the moss at the time was only a few centimeters thick/tall. Now its about 4 inches tall, if not 5. And it grew on the plant.

Ok I changed how I grow my plant and it has being going great. I have it in hydroton beads inside a clay pot. The clay pot sits inside a plastic food dish. The food dish gets the drips and keeps more humidity around the clay pot. I just mist the beads, roots and entire plant once a day. Every since I got false spider mites I have been keeping the leaves and ps bulbs more moist. It does dry by the next day, then I rewater. Here is how it looks today.

Yours looks really good. I keep trying to kill mine. But it has some more new growth. Lets hope I don't kill this new growth.
