Hans, I definitely recommend a summer in the garden in semi shade. Keep them out as long as you dare. I took my x lemoniana indoors just before we were hit by the first frost and we had some cold nights. Now it's covered in flowers. I have that theory that the plant thinks it's going to die and therefore makes every effort to propagate itself through seed. By the way, the difference is in the distinct deep yellow/orange band around the yellow fleck on the lip. A lovely plant but much sought after by scale and requires close supervision and drastic action all through the year.If you want a piece, let me know. I had to re-pot it last year and I lost my grip (happens to the best) and dropped it on the floor where it split into five neat pieces. They are all growing like mad and I am taking my surplus to orchid society raffles.The picture was taken in 2005, by last year it had trebled in size.
here is Holcoglossum flavescens in flower with me. I have it in a tiny pot of cat litter at the moment but I am going to mount it on a piece of bark when I can get one.Picture quality not good I am afraid,I blame it on the camera
