Well done, a very attractive photo. I love the greeny-yellow/brown coloring of so many orchids.
Are you going to try pollinating it and getting some seed pods?

What a beautiful vine! Are you interested in trading a plant or a cutting?

I love the photo. My vine is just starting to swell with the flower. I hope to see the vanilla bean. I have gotten some information about hand pollenation and will try that. I love this orchid. My vine is about 25 to 30 feet tall, growing from the base of an avocado tree. I planted it about eighteen months ago. It is happy in South Florida.

Very lovely indeed, your weather must be perfect, do you have a moist environment? Annie
