Thank you Susanne! This is such a little cutie.

I'm usually all about the big frilly showy flowers, but I love this little one. I probably would never have purchased this particular plant, had it not been for a member project, so kudos to you and everyone involved in our projects. That's what makes them so neat.

Here are a few photos......very hard to photograph this one......

Congrats Karen! I love the pictures! I can't wait for mine to bloom someday! Would you mind sharing your growing conditions you provide for this one?

Thanks Becca!

I grow this orchid outside on my lanai. It gets some late afternoon sun and very bright light. My lanai is not screened. I water twice a week and fertilize about every week or so. In the cooler weather over winter I would water less and not much fertilizer. (for SW Florida, a cool snap is days in the 60's and nights in the 40's with low humidity).

Usually the days are in the 80's and nights in the 60's. Humidity generally is around 50% or higher.
