I've heard there is a chapter here, but am not overly familer with the asssociation. I'll have to look it up.

So far the raja and the ice cream (namwah probably) are seeming to love the heat and have really taken off, and the raja is starting to pup. I've got the maurelii and zabrina in filtered light from other trees, and they've been very happy there too. The zabrina seems to dislike the sun, and actually "bleachs" the color out of the leaves when grown in the sun here.

The goldfinger initally burned to the ground, litterally. Lost all it's leaves and the main psudostem died off. I left the corm in the ground, and a few months ago, it sprouted about 6 new pups that are now about 1.5' tall each, and seemingly sun resistant (they no longer burn).

The saba was slow to wake up after winter, but just pushed it's first big leaf of the summer and is on it's way to anouther.

The DC are funny. I have one in the front of the house in filtered light, and it burned when I put it in, and one in the back in full sun (all day), plus reflected light from the pool and it never burned once! It as 4 or 5 good pups around it already.
