Lore asked :
Can anyone advise me on a couple of plant choice questions?

First: I would like to give a plant to a friend who loves orchids but I don't think has ever grown them. It would be nice to give her something a little unusual (our local grocery store sells Phals and I don't want to give her anything like that), but one that wouldn't be too difficult to grow, o require any special conditions.

Second question: although I am a beginner, too, I like to experiment, and I saw pictures of Diplocaulobium chrysotropsis and D abbreviatum. Are there any particular difficulties in growing this genus? I have not even checked to find out if the mail order nurseries have them.

Thank you in advance.
Lore Lisa.
