Yep, sorry about the quality of the photo - pretty poor I'm afraid. The
plant was bought at Solihull Orchid Society's (UK) annual members
auction in about November 05 for the equivalent of a couple of dollars.
Being fairly new to growing orchids and wanting to increase my stock
(and make the plant more attractive) I made the mistake of splitting it
into two the following spring and fed and watered it throughout 06 but
it did not flower. Still learning, during 07 I kept one plant in the bay
window of a warm room which gets sunlight until about noon, the other in
a conservatory which gets very hot in summer but cold in winter. Both
plants started to send out spikes late last late autumn, the bay window
plant going on to give two flowers but the conservatory plant failed to
develop its spike. Whilst the flowers on the bay window plant were
pretty, they were much smaller than I expected, so if I can get it to
re-flower next year it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

The top picture is not, but the other one is, although I must say it's not a
particularly appealing one to me.
