    Again this plant is in flower. Lost count of the spikes this year. Pleases every time.

    Blooming as much as it does would make me very happy seeing those blooms.

    The regular bloomers are so nice, especially when they have cute flowers like that.

    That plant is definitely an over-achiever.

    I grow it in a house with Catts, Dends, Angraecum etc. It is heated but only enough to prevent Frost damage. Temps can range from 6c on the worst of nights to 45c on the worse of days even though I mist spray & have an Evaporative cooler working flat out. The humidity helps prevent heat damage. Fortunately the over 40c days aren't all that often. It grows in 20mm pine park only, is watered & fed with everything else, it is generally more shaded than the other plants.
    I have posted pics in the "Growing Area" section of this group that show everything. It isn't one that likes high temps all the time, not a plant that would grow in tropical areas I believe. I see that here with growers in Northern Australia.

    Well damn!

    Thanks, Roy. I guess I'll scratch it off of my list. It gets pretty warm all summer here.
