Actually, it is in an 8" pot. I have it sitting in the basket so the spikescan hang "naturally" and not get broken (though I've still broken a few tips). Once the blooms fall I am going to actually plant it in the basket. I know some would say leave it in th epot but I am tired of all the pots and worrying about root rot. I will slowly move most of my collection to baskets. With my auto misting/watering systems it will make my life a lot easier.

And take it to the Orchid Society for the display table - how ? I have tried suspending baskets from the roof of the car, but find I can't see throuigh the back window via the mirror etc...

Still, not a bad problem to face !
