    Default Schomb. superbiens alba x Schomb. gloriosa

    I hope this is the right section for Schomb's. I didn't get a pic of this one till near the end of its bloom cycle but here ya go. It's quite a large plant.

    I am hoping to slowly acclimate him to full sun since I need more space and don't have any other orchids in full sun. I wish I had room for a greenhouse sometimes!

    Glad you all liked it.

    Nice of you to offer, Margo ... what is five years in orchid time? Nothing!
    I doubt I can grow one indoors in NYC though!

    If it could take full sun could you hang it outside a window?

    Sure, my light loving orchids spend late spring-late summer on the window ledge but it's more winter I would be concerned about with a Schomb.
