Another first bloom for me this season. This was a TC for my Haraella project plant, which continues to sulk and do a whole lotta' nothin' - meanwhile, this one has left it in the dust.

Very nice, Stephen! I've thought about getting one of these guys. Does it seem pretty easy? Any crazy culture requirements?

Thanks, Yvan! Seems pretty easy. It takes a lot of light, and likes to get misted often - it aborted two spikes until I tried increasing the water. But like Tolumnias, it seems to want to be fairly dry before nightfall.

What a cutie!
Sorry your project plant hasn't done anything - at least this one is performing for you!

Nice!
Is the plant upside down in the photo or do the leaves really grow up in a fan?

The photo is right-side-up. But I've seen Psygmorchis mounted in either direction in othere photos. IOSPE has it upside-down: IOSPE PHOTOS
