Maybe the light was not too good for these....this year they are flowering well - rescued from pieces of firewood a few years ago destined to be used for cooking!

What a lovely plant.
White flowers are so difficult to photograph. You need to underexpose to get detail in the whites, and never mind if the greens are a bit on the dark side.
Well how fabulous is that Lin? So pretty! Just love it on your tree with those healthy roots!
Thanks Arne!

Thank you Sheryl, in fact, they have been left on the branch they were growing on and I have merely wired it up to hang beneath a tree I have in the garden (an ornamental Brazilian/Madagascar Pepper Tree) where I have a number of other orchids...
Years agoI had C.arcuata ( i think that was the name), i had seen it in the wild in a game park somewhere near the border between South Africa and Mozambique , then saw it on offer at some show. Had it for years, growing with my Vandas, and then it flowered very well, I think it was 4 spikes, but much sorter than your spike. The curious thing was that when I posted it, someone in Australia posted the same species. I had never seen it before, and never seen it since. At the time I thought it very rema4kable that one and the same species should flower in the northern and sourhern hemispheres at the same time. Now I realise that it was just a coincidence - the vandaceous orchids arenot specially seasonal, they will flower at any time given the rightt triggers ( usually a temperature drop ) if they are big enough.
My plant got lost - but I would certainly buy again if I ever saw one available.
Is "My plant got lost" another way of saying it died?
