    I like it! It's cute! And I don't think I have seen one before?! All the blooms look the same so I would think is not the heat?! May be they are just different!

    Not sure about the color either but you deserve praises for blooming a very fussy demanding Disa!

    they like it cooler than the temps we have been having. It is a fussy genus. I had to design an ebb and flow table for them. I manually fill it and it slowly runs out.

    I tip my hat to ya, Ron! I love disas but have no intention of trying them. They're just too much the prima donnas.
