I think I have mentioned this before. Miss Joaquim likes to clear the top of the support before it blooms, so a stake or support of 3-4 feet would be adequate. it loves full sun and the lath house isn't ideal for it. In the 40s-50s Miss Joaquim was one of the most common garden plant in the then Malaya( now Malaysia ) and Singapore; so much so that Miss Joaquim was synonymous with orchid. By the way the var Douglas is larger and darker than the normal Miss Joaquim but less free flowering.
