This is my second years bloom, much like last year but I still love this species!

Well done Jack! Does this plant ever have leaves?

Chris, this species barely has leaves. I killed mine years ago. It's difficult to grow this one in Calgary. I recall I know a lady who can successfully grow this one because she has a table top mini self-misting/florescent greenhouse but this mini greenhouse monster is close to $1000.

Wow. One of the best I have seen.

Thanks Chris! Yes it does put out a tiny new leaf but it only last for a week or so then falls off.

Thanks Zain! I agree with you, this species is now my second favorite next to Bulbophyllum. I have 4 now and will be picking up 5 more at Redland in 2 weeks!

Thanks! As long as you can provide the humidity you should have no problems growing this.

Thanks Sriram! What irks me is that a friend of mine bought one at the same time I did, I fertilize, water and give it a little dry rest during the winter just as required, he waters, if he remembers, does not give it a dry rest or fertilize and this year has 10 spikes, mine only had 3, go figure that out on why that happens, I would love to know!

Humidity is always an issue in Calgary...
