A great reliable bloomer, which looks good out of bloom too. It blooms late summer, reblooms a second time off of the same growth in early fall, but then goes into dormancy until spring.

I agree with the comment on it looking it good out of bloom...it is a beautiful growth style with the really fat cane. The blooms are nice bonus.

Drool ! I love it ! I have not seen this plant before , What Temp. does it require ? how much rest in the winter ? dry ? less light ? cooler ?
I know ,lots of questions . sorry :) lol not really .
Thanks for sharing it . Gin
Amazing, too people with that plant in bloom on the forum. Never seen it before, but love the "Miss Liberty" type effect of the petals/sepals...
Fantastic! Love seeing the plant as well as the flowers... and it sure does make a great show.
Cheers

This one hasn't been picky for me. It's potted in old sphag which I should really replace. I keep it on the wet side from the moment I see new growth in the spring until I see leaf drop in the fall. I keep it almost totally dry over winter, and at 50-60F, with less light. In the spring, I put it outside as soon as possible, where it enjoys full sun for around 3/4ths of the day, including the hottest part of the day.
It's a nice, compact, easy grower, for me at least.
I'll be curious to see if titusblm is growing his in the same conditions . . .
Very cool, Sue. Just saw Titus' pic too. I agree with Tim--good to see the plant as well! I've never heard of, or seen this. Really like the trumpet lip.
