Growing notes:
Started in 8" pot in clay pot shards. In fall 2012 repotted into 18" pot filled with shards too. In Feb 2013 started throwing three spikes, seemed to grow about 1" per day. It is close to an east wall and there are a few branches overhead so it gets very bright, slightly dappled morning/mid day light.
Purchase notes:
This was marked $15 for one huge pseudobulb and when I went to pay for it, she said it was mispriced. I thought: oh no, bait and switch! Then she charged me $10 :)
