Odm. bictoniense x Wils. Bonne Nuit

This beautiful orchid finally decided to bloom this season, it's complicated cross between closely related genera and been with me for a number of years, yet this is the first time I've seen it's flowers. It went backwoods on me a few times, but each time somehow revived itself.

It's not an easy orchid to grow - because it seems to require constant moisture, but not being soggy, bright but indirect light, dislike extreme temperatures, loves high humidity yet needs gentle breeze. If any of these conditions not met it's just not flowering and I am forever learning with this one.

I love colors combinations, the big showy blooms, the heavenly scent that reminds of many exotic spices and delighted finally to see it in flower.

Of all the plant groups, orchids are easily the most popular for cultivation and they have a huge following of devout enthusiasts in most countries in the world. Here in Australia they have almost a cult following - we have more than sixty orchids societies that promote and coordinate all aspects of their cultivation.

I have been growing orchids since my early teens and I am still a devoted disciple of this magical group of plants. This blog borne out of a desire to share some of this magic.

Orchids are the most fascinating group of plants and the cultivation of orchids has been described as a disease of the obsession with which one pursue new plants for the collection.
