That is an orchid? A very different orchid. I like it because of that. Where did you get it?

Yes, she is indeed an Orchid. The flowers are slightly smaller than a US dime.
I got her on Ebay a while back. The price was right  |

Hi Flowers
Great photos and really beautiful orchid. Congrats.
I wanted to buy one of these, but I get scared because around here it is difficult to give a cool environment. At least in the summer. 
How do you grow? |

I grow this guy in an Exoterra XL (24"tall x 18 x 18) terrarium. L. telipogoniflora is, I've read, an intermediate, so it makes things a bit easier. The temp. in the terrarium is around 72F in the day, and 68 to 65F at night. On warm days, the temp can get to 80, but i put ice cubes in front of the fans to cool things down a bit. Humidity is kept at %85 or higher. I thought L. telipogoniflora was going to be the hardest plant to grow, but out of everything I have, it's the easiest. That's not to say it will be the same for everyone, but it might!

Thanks!
The problem is that I have 100 F or higher for 3 months (max temp). But if it grows intermediate, then I bet I can grow it !
