    Not the most remarkable flowers, but the inside of the lip is quite spectacular...I had to 'molest' the flower a bit just to get the shot :rolleyes:...no worries, no permanent damage was done. I/W grower, bright light and moist, and a great continuous grower blooming 2+ times a year

    The lip reminds me of a Coelogyne, quite wonderful.

    Nice! I don't know why I don't have one. I'll have to fix that.

    I love this species. It's unkillable!
