WOW ! This is beautifully designed by nature. The positioning of the flowers makes it attractive to the bugs that will pollinate it...I just love the colors ...is it fragrant?

For me it's not easy to kill it, is all year outside and it has very good tolerance in dry conditions of the summer and cold at winter. |

Tolerant of dryness? That's good then! My main issue with mounted orchids (this seems seems to always be mounted) is that I have trouble keeping up with their water needs, even with twice daily spraying. Maybe I should look for one at a show I'm going to next weekend!

Camille, I have one and it's still doing fine. On a piece of wood, no moss. It's not dead yet, but hasn't bloomed either

Mine has not bloomed yet, but I think it is finally "big" enough to. It is a very tolerant little guy. Get one, Camille, you will not regret it. Mine is on a little stick with sphag. I water once a day by sticking the stick in a cup of water for a few minutes. It grows inside under lights.
