Very nice photography of these small flowers. I'd have to say this is one of the easiest little orchid weeds I ever grew. For me it bloomed consistently in a north window. I did find it to be a bit of a magnet for spider mites in low humidity.

:-) This is hilarious, Jeff from TOF told me he was not able to grow this guy, I guess what works for one does not work for others, I have yet to make any of my Brassavola plants bloom, but I do not think I will have patience for them anymore, after this year, I have them for 4 and 2 years, they grow like crazy, they get enough light (reddish leaves), direct afternoon sun, good fertilizing, but these primadonas never did spike for me, when others have them in constant bloom without any work all the time. But I can make Telipogon grow and spike here in Florida :-)))))

I guess any orchid is easy if you happen to stumble on conditions it likes, and any orchid can be difficult if you're missing something elusive. Or they're just messing with our heads...
