Lycaste Dainty
I've had this outdoors for about a month and is doing well. Sturdy bright blooms and 2 new growths. Dainty blooms but leaves still grow around a foot long.

I've branched out and given this one a try.A small plant and managed to get 3 blooms so I'm doing the happy dance. Our colors vary a bit but glad to have one. Lovely little orchid(without leaves of course!).

Nice. Very elegants without the leaves.

With leaves, the 'dainty' plant turns into quite a big plant - leaves are about 12inches long and require a lot of space.
The plant is doing what it did last year - another growth has appeared which has no chance of maturing prior to dormancy. Weird.
BTW - the older bulbs always crinkle. The 2 newer bulbs are plump and round.
The new growth is tucked in there

 These cast quite a shadow! Ours look similar now but I'm still watering and guess I'll taper off next month. I keep checking my info on these new acquisitions but always welcome input from anyone. |

I'm going to divide mine into 2, probably Feb or March. Its outgrown its pot anyway and I am curious to see whether the older and shriveled backbulbs will sprout.
BTW - I have mine on a wire hanger, its topheavy and would fall over if it was just upright.

Orchids never cease to amaze me.
I took a close look at my Dainty and noticed 2 spikes developing - this from an orchid that is only supposed to bloom from a leafless bulb and only ever bloomed that way for me.
