I grow George McMahon, and find it quite easy, it grows among my catts, the vendour who sold it to me told me that these are grown and sold as house plants in the Netherlands

Another nice one is Odontocidium Tiger Hambuhren

Hi Gideon, Thanks for the photo's!
Ive got one looks very much like the second pic but really like the first photo ur showing. LOL i like the idea of growing them as house plants ... I would have thought more ppl here would be growing them.
Sounds like they need some fairly strong lighting. Ive got about 4 hrs of intense sunlight a day then the rest under some not so strong lighting. So not sure if this would work for these.
They bloom well for you ..... What about ur conditions - Fast growers?
