    Eric, lovely, lovely specimen. I have this but yet to bloom it. Although, I think it is big enough. Any cultural notes you might add? Mine is potted but I think it longs to be placed on a mount.

    I grow it with my other Cats (in a pot with bark and sphagnum, same temperature, same light...). This plant should dry between 2 waterings +++ otherwise the roots rot. I think this species would like to be mounted.

    Thank you all.
