It sure looks happy!! Me too I'm looking forward to seeing your bloom pics, ex-Sophronitis like S.cernua or brevipedunculata have proven difficult for me....

.

Mine grow 65f/18c to 75f/23c and stays wet as much as I can water inside the orchid case. I have to wrap them in 5A sphagnum keep the tiny roots happy. They dry out they die fast. The humidity stays at about 65 to 75%. More humid the better. The "They can take as much light as you can keep them cool" formula takes effect. They grow right along with the cuthbertsonii.

I have come to enjoy them. Hanging around waiting for their day to come are a cernua, coccinea, wittingia, mantiqueira, Scarlet imp, Arizona hybrids . I think I have a few more. I have to count them again I forget.




bloom or bust!!!

this is one I broke the new growth off being fumble fingers. you can still see the tip of the leaf broken. a new growth came out on the other side a new one behind the broken one and the broken bulb wasnt broken down into the flower and wasnt done yet .

its worked hard

Born with some damage but aren't we all. This is about the size of my thumb. Just amazing little mini catt. I need a zoom lens for better pics.

these are gorgeous little flowers. pics do not do them justice. they are hard to get a good picture without manipulating the flower some and I don't want to knock it off the stem its so tiny..tiny tiny tiny
