Orchimania, Aout 2010, chaud
Partial shade, intermediary to hot temperature, flower in summer and fall
This species has incredible blooms that move, wave, and wiggle, it is found in peninsular Burma, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in primary montane forests at elevations of 1000 to 2000 meters with 3/4 " to 1.2" [2 to 3 cm] between each elliptic, olive green pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical oblong-elliptic, sessile leaf thatblooms in the summer and fall on a basal, erect, 5.6 " [14 cm] long, single-flowered inflorescence with membraneous, lanceolate floral bract. It is a warm to hot grower and I have potted them in wood slat baskets with some tree fern. Give it shade, moist conditions, and plenty of air movement. The trick is to let the newest growth be close to the wood basket and the oldest in the center. This way the new growth attaches to the wood and is more likely to bloom.
