Default Phalaenopsis parishii, update, second bloom

This one has bloomed again. This is the second time it has bloomed for me. I keep it in a 40 gallon breeder fish tank. I converted the fish tank into a vertical vivarium and mounted the plant on to the side wall. Its growing nice roots and seems to be growing slowly but consistently.

Very nice! My parishii is not quite large enough to bloom yet, but when it is I hope that it does as well!

I have this one and it seems to hate me. Guess I need to put it in a terrarium. I'm going to try that.

Good growing - I'm patiently (not) waiting for my spikes to bloom. They just sit and stare at me.

It looks great Tindo, the blooms are so cute! I just came across a beatiful one on ebay, and it ends in less than an hour. Can this orchid grow on a windowsill in intermediate temps, or is it really a terrarium plant? I hope some one will answer quick, I'd love to bid on it!

EDIT: I bid and I won, only 12€! I'll try it in my conditions, or else I'll put together a small terrarium for it.
