    I generally don't like yellow, unless it is accompanied by a complementary color. This qualifies!

    Hi, my testacea is now in bloom as well. I grow realively cool and dry in the winter (generally night temperatures in the low 50's F or 10 - 12 C). I have been experimenting with Vandas in the last couple of years. Will post in a new topic.

    I have another from a different source that is at least one year to blooms. Can't wait to compare them.

    I like the contrast on yours with the light yellow and bright purple
