Super cool. I've got to try one of these.

Looks good! You will definitely have to post more pics when the flowers open up more.

Nice growing! That is really eye-catching. I have a small expansum that hasn't bloomed for me yet but I'm surprised to see that color -- was expecting a creamy-white!

:)

Great colour !! Superior clone. Where do you hibernate them- I mean, is your living room that warm and do you give artificial light ?

Awesome! Good growing!

Thank you :)
The colour is dark blood red and i just love these flowers. The spike dropped some of the buds and i was affraid some of the flowers would fall of also, so i just had to post a picture before they where fully opened.
euplusia : Nearly all of my orchids are in my "greenhouse" and i have artificial light,three fans for aircirculation and an electric heater.
This picture is from last spring so there is a few more orchids out there , but nearly all my catasetinas lives on the shelves you see against the lower wall. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Q...0011.JPG?gl=NO
