Kim those blooms are elegant! I had my first epi growing in a hanging basket. It became a monster. I would leave it hanging under the front porch roof and when it would freeze, I would wrap it in a blanket. One frosty night was windy and blew the blanket off. That plant was history and I was relieved.

These days it is getting dark early and we get home late and this one snuck up on me!
This morning, I did a walk thru on my plants and was startled to find this bloom. It was winding down but was able to catch this photo. And I need to rethink my comment about rootbound. The roots are sticking out the drainholes and have even split the pot!
