    The one I saw is a specimen, and they want a chunk for it. I don't trust the grower's ID (Tom You-Know-Who) so I checked it online and it looks like the bloom is right for the species. They say it was ID'd by Garay, but again, the trust thing.

    If it's still there late this afternoon when we go back for the awards tent tear down (Jim's on the hook for security duty), I'll get it.

    I have it since about a 2 years ago.

    I grow it in a warm vivarium, I grow it on epiweb and give it water everyday.
    My plant does not like to have water in new growths and I realised that it needs a bit more light than I provided at first.
    Otherwise it's a rather easy growing. Nice and compact plant.

    I have no clue whom you are talking about:D but who can garantee the ID? Look what happened to the orchid name changes:evil: Okay, it is not the same, but you know what I mean...

    How long is the waiting list for future divisions now?:poke:

    It's coming, man, be patient. It's been too flippin' hot to spend any amount of time in the Looking Glass recently. I do the tasks that absolutely must get done, and then run for the A/C. This weekend is supposed to be a bit cooler, though.

    I just got around to editing some pictures today. They were taken for the purpose of documentation, not to knock off anyone's socks. Still, you get the idea.

    (MJ and Tom, you're on the list for future divisions.)

    I think I'm in love, but it makes me kinda nervous to say so.

    "(MJ and xxx, you're on the list for future divisions.)"

    Thank you Alexis but that isn't neccesary. It's a lovely flower but I'm not adding any more orchids to my collection.
    Sell my divvie to Tom in PA! :D
