Very nice Ron, on to the wish list for sure. Is this a Pinoy endemic? How do you treat it?

thanks derek,
its native to south-east asia, i've seen a few different color varieties, basically treat em as dendro's, but more on the shadier side, mounted would be great coz they also need to dry out in between.

cheers to all other comments!!!

Hi Ron:

These are unusual but quite beautiful. How long do bloom fom this plant usually last? Is there fragrance from the blooms?

Keep growing great plants,
Dail

thanks dail,
this one is of the very short lived, a couple of hours fully open and no fragrance, i think this genus relies on the beauty of their flowers, and in that short time they give everything they can.
