    Thanks Dexter

    Thanks for the reply... Looking up Johnsonii this plant looks like other pictures that have been posted.

    Thanks Piotr... There's LOTS of old spikes on the plant. I hope I can grow it as well as the PO who grew it in a 50F min greenhouse. I looked up the plant and found it grows up to 2500m in Central America but the description says it grows warm and my plants are in an unheated greenhouse! Great pictures, I hope to get a macro lens for my new camera so I can improve on my orchid photos... Dexter

    Dexter, I would go with the elevation which would indicate cooler temperatures and ignore the "warm".
