Default Soph. wittigiana

Sophronitis (remains Sophronitis) wittigiana (also known as rosea)

I've wanted one of these itty bitty guys for a while. Large size flower
given the size of the plant. This one's probably an inch across (2.54cm)
First time its bloomed for me, and I hope I can keep it up!

Well done Kathy. Not the easiest of plants to get to flower.

Especially given the way I grow! I'll water fertilize etc for a few months
then get busy and forget the plants for a few months then remember them and
go thru a spate of watering and feeding..... is amazing any of them survive
at all.

Default Christmastime orchid was Soph. wittigiana

So how about a red and green orchid, since its Christmas time?

An unnamed hybrid of Blc Memoria Benigno Aquino and Blc Green Sage Gem

Ho Ho Ho!

Not a bad idea. This is close as I have to red and green (with some
orange)! A classic species. Epidendrum pseudepidendrum is found in Costa
Rica and Panama.

I had one. I loved it. It bloomed a few times and the flowers start off
larger than you can believe and they kept getting bigger... Very nice
plant. Mine died. I think I kept it too warm, but I don't know.

Well, we'll see what happens to mine. The humidity issue, and watering
issues will probably dry mine as dry as the stick its mounted on. But! Its
a New Year and maybe I'll change!
