Very true Nora and it hangs high in my green house for the bright light. I build muscles taking it down to water/fertilize every four days and must be oh so careful with those tall bloom spikes. Next watering I'm gonna put a large (22 Galleon) container below the plant and hose water I think. AL

Wow Al, even just the buds alone are beautiful !!!!! This is one of the showiest among the native Philippine orchids.
