Obviously it likes the S/H method of potting? Nice color - I may try that one after I get back from Hawaii next month (if I haven't overspent my limit there on orchids!)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Yep! Will be on Big Island for two weeks (staying in Kona). Plan on a couple of the "gardens" and orchids (of course).

Thanks everyone 
It may just be me but as the flower gets older it look like the purple is somewhat bleeding onto the white.

I think it was about 48-60 hours from first to last picture

You must share the pictures with us when you get back
-----------
**edit** I have a question. On the second to last pic. There's a white halo/blur around the flower where the white meets the black showing on the black backdrop. Anyone got any tips on how to avoid this? Thanks
**edit #2** the purple in the photo doesn't do the plant justice. ok well time for bed

Marco - I don't see the halo/blur to mention. My monitor is a professionally calibrated LaCie electron blue IV that is color controlled via a USB connection to PC. Therefore it is extremely accurate for color and brightness/contrast. The image looks fine to me except, perhaps, for the small line that looks like part of a leaf near the 9:00 position. If this is the problem, then either move the leaf, reframe the image, or "photoshop the spot out". JMO.
BTW, the rose/purple is very intense on my monitor.
