    Love Gongoras! Though I do see the "bird" comparison, they always remind me of little dragons in flight. Very nice red color on these. Is this species fragrant?

    Molly, have you tried moving it around? I know people grow these in quite a range of conditions, some quite bright. I grow mine shadier than phals, always moist but perfect aeration, (hence the basket, also got a piece mounted).
