Karen, sorry it took so long to reply to your post - got myself a little busy this weekend. I grow my H. memoria in my bathroom where it is set back about 3.5 feet from a south-facing window in Chowchilla, CA (think desert country). The bathroom is painted almost an ice-white and has a mirror that runs most of the length of the bathroom, so the area is very bright. I am a little surprised, however, that it bloomed. I really thought I was putting it in enough light to grow, but not to bloom (I kind of stuck it there when I moved in and hadn't had time to think of a better place for it).

Everyone's bloom photos are just GORGEOUS!!!

Speaking of blooms ... Here is H. cv. Noelle putting on another show for me. I love this plant!!!
