I remembered strobellii being floriferous, but WOW! I counted over 50 total open blooms and buds.

Love it and it's so small, I could fit a few of these around the bigger fellas.

How old is it, any idea?

P.S. nice photography.

Thanks. I'm not sure how old it is Barbara. I got it in bud in Nov 05. It has stayed small. I love the "hairy" texture.

Thanks. I like hairy orchids too.

Think I have to do some research on this one.

Hey Marie! Great growing!!!
That's a cool-grower, isn't it?

Oh well, I'll just have to live vicariously through you and the others who are lucky enough to be able to grow these gorgeous little babies

Sue,
I think it'll grow cool to warm....give it a try!

I believe it's warmth tolerant so if you can give it cooler nights you should be able to grow it.

MDK....that's really well grown and bloomed. Great growing! Can you share any culture tips? I had a masdie tank set up awhile back and could grow some nice ones in there but i never did get a strobellii. I'll have to be content looking at your wonderfully bloomed plant. WOW!
