Default Maxillaria sanderiana

Cross-posting from o.pictures; there doesn't seem to be anybody there.


Killed two of these, and decided to try a third two years ago what with
the GH and being able to keep some things cooler. Three flowers; this
one is prematurely aging due to our unseasonal 85 degree days we've had
this last week. I moved the plant up to the vanda rack three months ago
as even there it was never over 70 degrees in the winter, and the light
level increase brought my long-awaited first-ever bloom for this
species. It's in sphagnum in a 6" wood-slat vanda basket.
