    I have two. They are different in color, form and bloom time - the darker one (last 2 pics) always blooms about 2 weeks after the lighter one. carnea1.jpg carnea2.jpg carnea3.jpg purpcarnea6.jpg purpcarnea7.jpg

    Another classic beauty. Nice job. Are you growing in bark?

    Thanks! These are in a basket with CHC (which I don't use anymore) and sphagnum. But I have others in orchiata in pots doing well, too.

    This is absolutely beautiful. May I ask, what is CHC?

    Thanks, Lindamarie; CHC = coconut husk chips
