    This tiny plant grows on a stick (a 1" thick piece about 7" long) with some sheetmoss underfoot; gets watered every day or so and sits in front of the evap cooler. It was hard to find, but has taken to the GH and sent out two inflorescences this year and last; and this year they'll both be in bloom at the same time! The flowers are about 1 1/3" across and the leaves get up to 3" long on 2" tall pseudobulbs. Whole plant pic is from last year. Since my camera has a hard time focusing on the intense orange, I had to take 73 pics of this this week (with two different cameras) in order to get one which was passable.

    Beautiful!
    It is very hard for some cameras to focus on some colors..
    May I give a hint?

    Nice one, definitely not seen often around the Mid-West

    Positively dreamy species that I long to grow myself. Congratulations on growing it so well! I understand how hard it can be to wrestle with a cantankerous camera, so high five for being patient enough to go through 70+ photos in order to get these up.
