I had one mounted on a large bark plaque, and another one on a piece of juniper. They hung high in the GH, with the vandas. Magnificent blooms, though. I'll be looking for a new one, come spring.

Good job, Bill. I been trying to have the patience Kevin mentioned and one thing I read (more than once) about these was that the roots were sensitve to too much moisture. This one came in lava rock and I moved it into a bigger pot keeping most of the lava rock around the roots intact and adding mostly rock and charcoal at the perimeter. I have another large Rhyncholaelia seedling and have it mounted on a small bit of tree fern... and it is putting out a few roots and a new growth also. |
