Mine just arrived today!

I thought it was a Cochleanthes candida by the photo of the auction but by the dried flower that came with the plant, it looks to be a Kefersteinia species as it is labeled.
Either way,

I am happy

(The one on the left is the Kefersteina species; to the right - Cochleanthes marginata)

Wow Gin!! I knew it would end up in good hands! Thanks for taking good care of it for me. How much light do you give this one??

Kefferstenia tolimensis, probably from the Tolima region of Colombia from the name.

I almost gave it to much light , the leaves were getting too light green , I moved it to a little more shade .
One thing I am not sure about is the Fert. needs. I have been feeding it half strength once a week with the others that don't want strong the thing that made me wonder is the thin leaves that shout tip burn . Might be wrong ? It is in a small plastic basket in Spag. Thanks again .. Gin
