    I recommend this one highly, Tim. The flower is 1.5" tall and the plant growth is about 6-7" tall.

    Never have much luck with Pluros, but this one is nice. Congrats on becoming a 'Senior Member' with your 100th post, Tom. Glad you are here. Your posts have introduced me to many new orchids and I appreciate it. I look forward to the next 100+ too.

    Cheers,
    BD

    We'll all get together and chip in a penny each for the string and the postage to mail it to you.
    Very interesting bloom here. I think these are the most otherworldly of the orchid kingdom.
