    I finally got this sucker to bloom, and to boot it was inside and under lights. Got it from Andy's a few years back. Yesterday the dorsal sepal was curved all the way back but it came back up today so I got a picture of it before it curved back again (I hope it doesn't!)

    Thanks everyone! Orchidsmyhobby - I've had the plant for about 3 years now. I think it's put on 6 growths or more since I got it. The plant is mounted. There is one thing weird about the plant and that is that it has bloomed from a growth with a leaf on it. Makes me wonder if it isn't a hybrid but since I'm no expert on this species I can't tell. Maybe there is someone here that can clear it up....??
