When at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try and try again. I don't know how many Maxillaria sophronitis I have sent to orchid heaven but one hand would not suffice to count them. Instructions are simple, cool, good quality water should do it but it has not for me. Finally I have one growing and it rewarded me with one tiny little flower! Others in my society grow them without too much difficulty, don't know what's wrong with my approach.

And then to add insult to injury, could not get a clear photo of it with my cell phone.
