B.hell Alex! It loves your conditions!

Paul, this little bulb has been so much fun to watch grow....(so fast).

You were right Meanie, very addictive. Did you notice the second flower underneath!?.
My Tangariro's are starting to really move fast now....

I did see it!
Ten of my eleven flowering sized pseudobulbs have two shoots, although some of them may be just foliage shoots - either way, they'll be new bulbs for next year.

How many did you start with?

Three last spring!

It looks terrific!

Thanks, it's so exciting now. It's my first time growing Pleione's so I don't "really" know what to expect.

They're super easy to grow.

.....and super fast to bloom.

Yes, it's almost as easy as Epidendrum, which blooms all year here.

Epidendrum look lovely. Are they easy to grow?

Epidendrum orchids bloom heavily all year here in San Diego...they're most prolific in winter.

They grow exceptionally well in the ground here (especially for an epiphytic orchid).

Here's my Epidendrum pics:
