This little cutie smells REALLY yummy! There are about 5 blooms open, but this is the nicest, most unobstructed one so far. Another 10 or so buds plumping. Very exciting!

That is very pretty and a very dramatic photo with that lighting! I also like the grass like leaves and the scent must be delicious.

Thank you! Considering how I neglected this plant, I'm pretty happy about the whole thing. I like the foliage also, and hope :evil: kitty doesn't as I left it down in the living room to enjoy, not in its usual space.

I KNOW THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE FORUM FOR THIS QUESTION.
BUT I REALLY WOULD LOVE SOME HELP.
I HAVE A MAXILLARIA TENUFOLIA, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MEDIA TO POT IT IN.
I AM REALLY NEW TO ORCHIDS AND JUST STUMBLED ON THIS LITTLE CUTIE. ACTUALLY IT IN A 4" POT NOW AND I AM BEGINNING TO THINK IT NEEDS SOMETHING REALLY DIFFERNT
THANKS

Welcome to the forum!
(you might wish to turn off your caps lock as that sometimes signals shouting in nettiquette.) :)

I have my Max. in a clay pot in a plain bark mix. That's how it came from the vendor last year, and I haven't messed with it. I will probably keep it in clay because it is a climber and would be top heavy in plastic and fall over, I imagine.

Hope that helps, hopefully others will chime in as well.

Welcome to the Slipper Orchid Forum! :)

Heather,
Thank you for the tip about the all caps. I have never considered that. This is a new world for me.
I will keep the plant as you suggest. I will repot it and hope for the best.
Thank you
Meg

Good luck, Meg! Do post pics of your plants if you can, we would love to see them.
