We won something at the raffle they have every month at the orchid club meeting. We chose the Yellow Birds because I really like them. It's in a 8" basket with bark mix, although there's not much mix left. It doesn't seem to mind though. We're trying to give it as much sun as we can in the house and water when it gets dry. We will probably try to add some more medium to the basket, but other than that just let it be. They seem to be pretty easy based on friends that have them and our experience with Brassavola nodosa (one of the parents).
It did have more flowers, but they have since fallen off. I'm not sure why it has so much red pigment to the flowers and some of the leaves too. I'm assuming it's because it was getting a lot of sun before we got it. I wonder if this one wants less sun than Brassavola nodosa which wants tons of sun.
