This is (a piece of) my very first orchid - I got it 10 years ago at a farmer's market. It survived
ALL my many mistakes, complete neglect for a few months (fortunately in winter), tho it took me some time to find it's happy spot for blooming

Very temperature tolerant - growing outside year-round in zone 9, sheltered from winter weather; going into the garage on the coldest nights.
2.5" blooms, 7" pbulbs, bifoliate with 11" leaves, compact rhizome. Potted in chc mix in a (5") clay pot. Watered when nearly dry - dry.
Thanks for looking
