There is a lot of information on Orchid Board about all kinds of orchids. You can use the Search feature and look up "variabilis" and "tenuiflora." Because Max. tenuiflora is also called the coconut orchid, you can look up that, too.
You will find a lot about how people grow them. I do this on Orchid Board with every plant new to me. In this case, you will find these are extremely thirsty orchids. Many people use sphagnum because they have trouble watering them enough in bark. Many people wind up standing them in dishes of water. Some years ago Carter & Holmes sold tiny seedlings of the yellow form of Max. Ben Berliner. I killed two before finding out they should not ever approach dryness.
