Hi David. Nice floral display. Do the phalaenopsis grow and flower in your home environment?
Also, what's the orange one at the front?

Cheers

Hi Arron
Thanks for your reply
Yes, these flowers grow inside where the tempeture is constant about 15 ,and the window faces North to get the morning sun

By 'constant about 15' are you saying that 15 degrees is the minimum your house gets down to in winter, or that it's never more or less then roughly 15 degrees?

I'm just working out the temperature requirements - I wouldn't mind giving one or two of these a try as indoor plants but our house has a minimum of about 8 inside on winter nights (or maybe it's 10, I've forgotten) and 29 on hot summer days.

Thanks for the reply

Yep, I thought it might be Cattleya aurantiaca. You don't see that as a houseplant very often.

My same questions about growing conditions apply to it. Do you grow it alongside the phalaenopsis ? Same conditions ?
