    Laurent, that it is! It doesn't like temps above 80 and it likes it moist and with an eastern exposure.

    Of course it does. It would melt here then. It is so delicate and beautiful.

    Great job, Ron...

    I have three hybrids and they bloom regularly for me indoors..

    I find them very amenable to household culture--with more humidity, of course. Mine sit directly under a humidifier in an East window.

    I have to say the fragrance is one of my favorites of the orchid world--spicy yet not obnoxious.
