Odonticidium Hilo Bay 'Sunny Daze'

[mjHuntingtonBeach]

An unloved almost unadopted plant from an orchid auction last summer that I decided to try with no idea what it looked like It was in a 4 inch pot and I moved it into a 5 inch, put it outside, found gaping wholes in the sides of two of four new pseudobulbs from snails over the winter but I guess I caught it in time. Moved it up into an 8 inch pot when it started showing flower spikes. Now it is a huge orange mass, almost 3 feet tall. Here are blooms from this morning.
