Glad you like it, in its day, not sure of it's background but it must have
been a show stealer!
The plant was what I call a struggling artist back in '99 & it's owner sold
his home along with the
g/h & the young kid that bought the house knew nothing about orchids & too
busy so he sold them all!
Incidentally, in case you worry about being too old with not enough time,
old Henri was 91 & still going
to orchid & Tillandsia meetings.
Cheers Wendy (And now you know the rest of the story)

since
'99 & it wasn't
a seedling.
