Here's my new guy that Joe gave me.



And here's the whole plant.



Now comes the question - I don't curently have any orchids that are growing in baskets without medium.... ummmmm.... is this normal? or should I stuff something in there for him? Can other's be grown this way if so which ones? It also seems that he is a basket within a basket there is a smaller plastic basket inside the wooden one. He's attached to both.

The flower size is fairly large about 3/4 the size of a CD the leaves span about 1.5feet maybe more.
